Hi, We've noticed that CXF doesn't use mime type parameters for matching except for q and d. Is there a reason for this? Our goal is to use a parameter to influence the shape of json or xml that is returned. We had to create a @Feature to override the default sort model for method selection, but now we are running into a problem with the Content-Type that CXF is using to select the message writer - it effectively uses the first mime type in the @Produces section whose type/subtype match the incoming Accept rather than the parameters that are on the incoming accept. An example Consider a method of @GET @Produces({"a/b", "a/b;x=y"}) Object getData() {} When sent Accept = a/b;x=y, a/b Will call a message body with content type of a/b but the caller prefers a/b;x=y as it is listed first.
Have I misunderstood Mime types or is there a way to influence CXF? The problem is in JAXRSUtils.intersectMimeType. When it sorts, the comparator ignores the mime type parameters and doesn't do a best match against the users types.
