WADL Generation : Misses parameters of Bean types that have a static valueOf(String)

[bacalv]

Hi,

I read  http://docs.huihoo.com/apache/cxf/2.2.4/jax-rs.html here  (under the
"Dealing With Parameters" section) that you can use types like the following
as parameters in a JAX-RS method...

public class SomeClass {
   public static SomeClass valueOf(String str) {
        SomeClass someClass = new SomeClass();

        . . .

        return someClass;
   }
}

For example...

public class MyService implements MyServiceImpl {
    public void doSomething(SomeClass somethingToDo) {
      . . .
    }
}

I can call this fine - the "valueOf" method gets called and the desired
object is passed in to the service method.

However, when I generate the WADL for such a service, it does not list my
"somethingToDo" parameter in the "<request>" section.

I traced through the WadlGenerator code and it appears that this case is not
being caught...

(line 455)
    private void doWriteBeanParam(StringBuilder sb, Class<?> type, Parameter
pm, String parentName) {
        Map<Parameter, Class&lt;?>> pms =
InjectionUtils.getParametersFromBeanClass(type, pm.getType(), true);
        for (Map.Entry<Parameter, Class&lt;?>> entry : pms.entrySet()) {
            String name = entry.getKey().getName();
            if (parentName != null) {
                name = parentName + "." + name;
            }
            if (*InjectionUtils.isPrimitive(entry.getValue())*) {
                doWriteParam(sb, entry.getKey(), entry.getValue(), name, new
Annotation[]{});
            } else {
                doWriteBeanParam(sb, entry.getValue(), entry.getKey(),
name);
            }
        }
    }

It seems to me that this method should treat the parameter type as a string
primitive if it has such a method.

As all of these methods are marked as private, I cannot override this
behaviour to fix the problem.

Has anyone else found another way around this?

I may resort to copying the entire class and making this modification
myself.

Thanks in advance
