Hi,
Use case: there is JAXRS service interface containing two POST methods:
@POST
@Path("{userId}/status")
Customer activate(@PathParam("userId") long userId,
@QueryParam("token") String token);
@POST
@Path("{userId}/status")
Customer activate(@PathParam("userId") long userId,
@QueryParam("token") String token,
SyncPolicyTO policyTO);
Both methods have the same URL, the difference is just that the first one
expects no request body and the second one expects policyTO object in the
request body.
Question: is it basically possible for runtime to match resource method based
on this criteria?
I didn't find explicit statement regarding it in the JAXRS spec.
JAX-RS selection algorithm does not take the method parameters into
consideration, so the selection is random
Currently for CXF:
a) In case if method has @QueryParam, I always receive either BadRequest
error from the service by call activate()
I guess when you have @QueryParam (the extra Java method parameter), JRE
will list the method with SyncPolicyTo first and hence JAX-RS runtime
selects it first, and then, assuming SyncPolicyTO is JAXB bean, it is
the job of JAXB provider to populate it and it will throw 400 if the
actual message body from which SyncPolicyTO is to be populated is empty,
this 400 is per the spec
b) If method has no @QueryParam, the first method is always called
Looks a little bit strange for me.
I guess in this case the runtime lists the former method first.
The bottom line though, the selection is unpredictable in this case.
I think you have a couple of options:
- use CXF ResourceComparator to customize the selection further, Jan
wrote the implementation for selecting the methods based on a number of
query parameters, etc...
- use only a single method,
Customer activate(@PathParam("userId") long userId, QueryParam("token")
String token, SyncPolicyTO policyTO);
and add org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext.Nullable annotation to SyncPolicyTO, if
the payload is not empty - then SyncPolicyTO will be populated,
otherwise, if @Nullable is there, null will be injected

Any ideas how it should work?
