> URITemplate.compareTemplates returns inconsistent results
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-7765
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7765
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JAX-RS
> Affects Versions: 3.1.15
> Reporter: Shon Vella
> Priority: Major
>
> When org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.URITemplate.compareTemplates() is passed two
> templates with the same number of literal characters, it returns -1
> regardless of the order the templates a passed in. I suppose this may be on
> purpose, but the result is that if compareTemplates() is used as the basis of
> a Comparator<URITemplate> that is used by java.util.Collections.sort() it can
> result in:
> {{java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general
> contract!}}
> I would also expect that this would result in some degree of unpredictability
> of the prioritization of when selecting the appropriate JAX-RS method to call
> for a given request.
