Hi all, We're running into an issues regarding the scoring of entity variants on the client. We found out that ClientResource.handle(Method method, Object entity, Class<T> resultClass) scores the variants for POST entities by the accepted media type for the result entity. Why is that?
In our case the POST entity matches with a custom media type as well as JSON. The requested result type (String[]) matches with another custom media type and JSON as well. ClientResource chooses the JSON format over our custom format here because that format is also one of the accepted media types for the result. This looks like an odd choice me. I would expect the code just to look at the scores of the variants and pick the one with the highest score, or the first one of those if there are multiple. Some insight in the reasoning behind this would be welcome.
