---------------------------------
Summary: ClassCastException in AtomPojoProvider when an Atom entry
is returned with a media-type of application/atom+xml (no type parameter)
Key: CXF-5406
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5406
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JAX-RS
Affects Versions: 2.7.7
Reporter: Dale Peakall
According to RFC5023 (section 12) a server SHOULD return a type parameter on
the media-type when returning an Atom Entry (e.g.
application/atom+xml;type=entry). However, it is not mandatory that the server
do this and RFC5023 states:
{quote}
If not specified, the type is assumed to be unspecified, requiring
Atom processors to examine the root element to determine the type of
Atom document.
{quote}
However, AtomPojoProvider simply assumes that when no type parameter is present
that the content is a feed and throws a ClassCastException when it ends up
trying to cast the Entry returned by Abdera into a Feed.
Also AtomPojoProvider's check on the type parameter value is case-senstitive
where RFC5023 states that:
{quote}
Neither the parameter name nor its value are case sensitive.
