------------------------------------

             Summary: http-request is sent before PhaseInterceptorChain gets to 
send-phase if http-request is chunked (because its too long)
                 Key: CXF-5573
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5573
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Bus, Core, JAX-RS, Transports
    Affects Versions: 2.7.5
         Environment: Spring
Windows 7
Tomcat 7.0.50
JDK 1.7_51
            Reporter: Michael Svoboda
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.7.5


While I wrote some REST-Webservices that communicate among each other I came 
across some surprising behaviour during the PhaseInterceptor invocations. 

I wrote a PhaseInterceptor for the phase "MARSHAL" that attaches a custom HTTP 
header to each outgoing message. But it seemed that in some cases (in most 
others it worked fine) he failed to attach this header to outgoing 
HTTP-requests. After some investigating I saw that only HTTP messages which 
where chunked (because the body was too long) seemed to be missing the custom 
header. On HTTP messages that were not chunked (i.e. simply had a 
content-length header) everything worked as expected.

Then I had a look at the cxf debug log messages and saw the problem.

{code}
For some reason the HTTP message was sent before my Interceptor got the chance 
to attach the custom header. The PhaseInterceptorChain only invoked my 
Interceptor after it was sent and added the custom header too late.

I simply worked around this problem by setting the phase of the interceptor to 
"PRE_PROTOCOL" which is before the "WRITE" phase (where the HTTP message seems 
to be sent).

While you can rather easily work around this problem, it is still something 
that should be fixed, so the next developer doesn't end up spending hours 
searching for the problem like I did.

My Spring configuration contains something like this:
{code:title=Spring config}
<jaxrs:server address="/myservices">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
      <bean class="mypackage.TestRestServiceImpl" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
</jaxrs:server>

...


<http-conf:conduit name=".*">
    <http-conf:client ConnectionTimeout="0" ReceiveTimeout="0" />
</http-conf:conduit>

<bean id="myInterceptor" class="mypackage.MyInterceptor" />

<cxf:bus>
    <cxf:outInterceptors>
      <ref bean="myInterceptor" />
    </cxf:outInterceptors>
</cxf:bus>
{code}

Example code that shows the basics of my REST-Service

{code:title=MyInterceptor.java}
public class MyInterceptor extends AbstractPhaseInterceptor<Message> {
  @Inject
  private MyContext myContext;

  public MyInterceptor() {
    super(Phase.MARSHAL);
  }

  @Override
  public void handleMessage(Message m) throws Fault {

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    MultivaluedMap<String, Object> headers = (MultivaluedMap<String, Object>) 
m.get(Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS);

    if (headers == null) {
      headers = new MetadataMap<String, Object>();
      m.put(Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS, headers);
    }

    headers.putSingle("X-myheader", myContext.generateHeader());
    m.put(Message.PROTOCOL_HEADERS, headers);
  }
}
{code}
{code:title=TestRestService.java}
@Path("/test")
@Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public interface TestRestService {

  @Produces(value = MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
  @POST
  @Path("/something")
  public String doSomething(String order);
}
{code}
{code:title=TestRestServiceImpl.java}
public class TestRestServiceImpl implements TestRestService {
  @Override
  public String doSomething(String msg) {
    return "i got your message '"+msg+"', thanks.";
  }
}

And here an example of how I send the HTTP request:

{code}
{code:title=ClientTest.java}
public class ClientTest {  
  public static void main(String [] args){
    TestRestService client = 
JAXRSClientFactory.create("http://localhost:8080/<mypath>/test/something", 
TestRestService.class);
    StringBuilder sb= new StringBuilder(1024*16);
    
    for(int i=1; i <= 16; i++){            
      sb.append(StringUtils.repeat("X", 1024));      
    }
    
    try{
      client.doSomething(sb.toString());
    }catch(Exception e){
      //just need to send it
    }
  }
}
{code}
