What I'm not sure about right now if what happens if
you have a boolean MatrixParam on the server method, and the URI
contains "/a;b"
most likely the conversion of "" to boolean will fail, so this is where
ParamConverter will help.
So I'd say the only issue is how to tell the proxy client that if it is
a boolean optional property then do optimize - most likely it will
require a property...

Hi Christian
JAX-RS UriBuilder will produce something like "/a;b" if one only
supplies a matrix param name, ex,
builder.path("a").matrixParam("b");
Higher level API such as JAX-RS WebTarget or CXF WebClient have
matrixParam methods which are mapped to UriBuilder.matrixParam.
So rather than deal with 'booleans' you can simply do
webClient.path("a").matrixParam("enabled")
("/a;enabled")
or
webClient.path("a").matrixParam("disabled")
("/a;disabled")
or not setting a matrix property at all,
as opposed to dealing with 'enabled' true/false values.
Or do you use a proxy where you have a method accepting 'boolean'
(matrix) parameter ?

Hi Sergey,
I agree this is a should, not a must - but I do like URLs to look
pretty... ;-)
I have currently no requirement for this, though - I just wanted to
know if it can be done with cxf.
I take it the answer is "no", then? :-)

Hi
I think it is an optimization as opposed to some 'must' rule
governing the
way all the boolean matrix properties are represented.
I agree having something like "/somepath;enabled"
looks better than
"/somepath;enabled=true"
and
"/somepath;enabled=false"
is more verbose than
"/somepath"
but the more verbose options are perfectly valid URIs and note some
services
may be written to assume the parameter is included - WADL also has a
'required' property which can be set to true.
I can only imagine this optimization be optionally implemented at the
client
side if a property is set. Is it really important to you ?

Hi all,
The Web Application Description Language specification [1] defines:
Boolean matrix parameters are represented as: ';name' when 'value' is
'true' and are omitted from identifier when 'value' is 'false'
Is there a way to achieve this behavior with cxf out of the box?
