I guess my question is less about the use of the client framework in
general, but about a scenario as described in section 44.2. of the
RestEASY documentation (Sharing an interface between client and
server), i.e. the case where the server-side interfaces are re-used on
the client side, to avoid repetition. This would not be possible in the
example described earlier.
What does that have to do with the client framework? The client
framework is just a set of predefined interfaces you invoke on, which is
different than the server where any object can be returned as a method.

Hello,
the client framework creates proxies for resource classes and now for
subresource locators as well (see e.g. Issue 589). These are always
created for the class indicated by the static return type of the
respective method, e.g. for a resource locator with the method
@Path({number})
Chapter getChapter(@PathParam(number) int number)
a proxy for Chapter.class is created and used. The jax-rs
specification, however, states that An implementation MUST dynamically
determine the class of object returned rather than relying on the static
sub-resource locator return type (section 3.4.1). Thus, the server may
actually use a subclass of Chapter, and process the request in a
different manner than expected by the client framework.
IMO, this basically means that Java interfaces alone cannot in all cases
be used as the complete specification of the server's ReST interface,
and consequently may be insufficient as basis for the client framework.
Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

Richard
