Re: JAXRS: Multiple service beans problem

[Sergey Beryozkin]

Hi

It's just a JAXRS selection algorithm that dictates it, or rather, it does not allow for selecting between multiple resource classes 
which have the same Path value. Perhaps you may want to consider using Path values with custom regular expressions rather than 
hardcoding unique values into each root class's Path values.
I kind of like the idea of trying another resource class if the initially taken route through the initially chosen root class 
produces no valid operation - I'll add it to the list...

Can you explain a bit more please about this issue :

Not sure if it is related, but also ran into a similar problem, where when
I have two service interfaces like below...where service A and B both have a
common sub-path.  It seems that both /v3/authenticate and /v4/authenticate
are available.  However, /v4/authenticate/validate is not available.  No
sub-path for a method is available in v4 if v3 doesn't have the same path.
If I remove the v3 bean, then both v4 methods are available.

*Take the following from cxf_beans.xml where I define 2 service beans:*

  <jaxrs:server id="serviceServer" address="/">
    <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
      <ref bean="contactServiceImpl3" />
      <ref bean="contactServiceImpl4" />
    </jaxrs:serviceBeans>

*Here are the service interfaces:*

=====

@Path("/v3")
public interface AuthenticationService {
    @GET
    @Path("/authenticate/{uid}:{pass}")
    public Response authenticate(@PathParam("uid") String username,
@PathParam("pass") String password);
}

=====

@Path("/v4")
public interface AuthenticationService {
    @GET
    @Path("/authenticate/{uid}:{pass}")
    public Response authenticate(@PathParam("uid") String username,
@PathParam("pass") String password);

    @GET
    @Path("/authenticate/validate/{token}")
    public Response validate(@PathParam("token") String token);
}

=====

I'm presuming those 2 AuthenticationService(s) are in different packages ?

So if you do "/v4/authenticate/validate/BTaaZUycRa" then no operation can be 
found unless you remove a bean which implements
AuthenticationService with /v3 ?


cheers, Sergey

Have my own little conversation going here now ;)   So looking deeper at
that other post, apparently you need to have a unique root path name for
each service class for the matching to work right now.  Kind of a bummer
that you can't have multiple classes with / for a root path and just have
CXF search all / path classes for particular sub-resource locators. But at
least I know how to get around the issue there.
