Sergey Beryozkin resolved CXF-6287.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: NeedMoreInfo
Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin
Unfortunately defaulting to value() will be too sensitive. JAX-RS 2.0 Client
API clearly states that toString() are to be used for Object parameters (query,
header, etc), see the relevant WebTarget method docs. Some Enums may not be
JAXB-generated and it is also possible to override toString in cases where
custom enums are created manually.
This is one of the reasons ParamConverter is there, when the ambiguity exists.
I'd like to encourage you to seek further clarifications on the JAX-RS users
list - perhaps it may sense to update the spec API text
> JAX-RS client should use Enum.value() instead of toString()

> Project: CXF

>
> A JAX-RS endpoints that uses an JAXB enumeration as a parameter marshals it
> using {{toString()}} instead of its {{public String value()} method.
> This results in invalid values being marshaled for values, such as
> {{STATUS_UPDATE}} instead of {{status-update}}.
> This requires writing a custom enumeration ParamConverterProvider. Since all
> JAXB enumerations follow standard method patterns for marshaling {{public
> String value()}} and unmarshaling {{public static T fromValue(String
> value)}}, they should be handled by CXF by default.
