Hi
You def do not need to send the code all the time, most of this code is
not relevant.
What happens is that in some cases you rely on the CXF extension where
you have something like
@MatrixParam("") MyBean
In this case MyBean properties represent individual Matrix parameters
and such properties may be converted with the help of the converters.
Note in this case the runtime itself deals with the instantiation of
MyBean and injecting matrix parameters into it.
When you have
@PathParam MyBean
it means you expect a single path parameter value converted into MyBean
as opposed to to one of MyBean properties.
Perhaps, in your case, you may want to do @BeanParam MyBean and have the
individual MyBean property annotated with @PathParam, etc

Right, may be a bit of extra code is pasted here :-), not easy to see the
relevant bits...
You have GetUserByDateRangeRequest2 but expect a Date converter be called so
of course that won't work.
Please tell, what should be done to make Date converter to be called when using
PathParam passing an object containing a java.util.Date object.
Of course, when using MatrixParam, passing GetUserByDateRangeRequest object,
custom ParamConverter SomeDateConverter is correctly getting invoked.
Thanks much again
