Hi Sergey,

Thank you for your reply. If just developed a generic sample that uses CXF 
standard class and operation selection algorithms, but extends it with a 
QueryParam selection algorithm. If all other conditions in CXF match and hence 
CXF cannot decide which method to select best, my QueryParam selection 
algorithm comes into place. This algorithm chooses the method with most matches 
between provided parameters in query and matching QueryParam annotations within 
the method. Additional (not matching) QueryParam annotations will decrease the 
matching rate, while method parameters with a default value will be ignored (in 
the rating).

If you think this code is of any value for CXF, please feel free to extend the 
current selection strategy with my QueryParam selection algorithm. I guess the 
best place for my algorithm would be another JAXRSUtils method, like
JAXRSUtils.compareQueryParams(...) to be called at the end of 
OperationResourceInfoComparator.compare(...).


public class QueryResourceInfoComperator extends 
OperationResourceInfoComparator implements
        ResourceComparator {

    public QueryResourceInfoComperator() {
        super(null, null);
    }

    @Override
    public int compare(ClassResourceInfo cri1, ClassResourceInfo cri2, Message 
message) {
        // Leave Class selection to CXF
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public int compare(OperationResourceInfo oper1, OperationResourceInfo 
oper2, Message message) {

        // Check if CXF can make a decision
        int cxfResult = super.compare(oper1, oper2);
        if (cxfResult != 0)
            return cxfResult;

        // Compare QueryParam annotations
        Set<String> qParams = getParams((String) 
message.get(Message.QUERY_STRING));
        int op1Counter = 
getMatchingRate(getAnnotations(oper1.getMethodToInvoke().getParameterAnnotations()),
                qParams);
        int op2Counter = 
getMatchingRate(getAnnotations(oper2.getMethodToInvoke().getParameterAnnotations()),
                qParams);

        return op1Counter == op2Counter
                ? 0
                : op1Counter < op2Counter
                        ? 1
                        : -1;
    }

Only URI path segment, HTTP method and in/out media types are taken into
consideration when selecting the candidates. If you prefer to have
individual methods having the same HTTP Method/Uri Path/Media Types but
with specific query parameters then the only way to get it managed is to
use a CXF ResourceComparator where, in this case, you can affect the
ordering of specific resource methods by checking the current
Message.QUERY_STRING available on the CXF Message

A simpler alternative is to have a single method and work with UriInfo, say

@Context
private UriInfo ui;

@GET
public String getFooOrBar() {
     MultivaluedMap<String, String> params = ui.getQueryParameters();
     String foo = params.getFirst("foo");
     String bar = params.getFirst("foo");
     // etc
}

HTH, Sergey
