Re: JAX-RS surprise with a 404 response

[Benson Margulies]

I mischaracterized the problem.

@Path("docView")
@Consumes("application/json")
@Produces("application/json")
@GZIP
public class DocumentViewService extends JugServiceWithSession {
    private static final Logger LOG =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(DocumentViewService.class);
    private QueryService queryService;

    public DocumentViewService() {
    }

    @Path("/{docId}/html")
     public Response documentHtml(@PathParam("docId") String docId)
throws Exception {
     ,,,
     }

No matter what my function returns, CXF goes and tries to locate a
subresource, fails, and makes a 404.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.

Note that my function *is invoked*, so I'm quite confused about why
CXF is looking for subresources after i it returns.

Hmm, Notice the lack of @GET or the like up there? Adding it fixed
things right up.
