Minor Description
Hi
Hi,
I'm getting an issue where my @Path annotations aren't mapping to the
required URLs. Here's a rough outline of my test class:
@Path(value="/
{domain}/
{network}/
{user}/mail")
public class MailService {
@GET
@ConsumeMime(
@ProduceMime({"application/xml", "application/json"}
)
public MailFolderDocument listMail(@PathParam("domain")String domain,
@PathParam("network")String network, @PathParam("user")String user,
@HeaderParam("token")String token)
@Path(value="/{messageId}", limited=true)
@GET
@ConsumeMime({"application/xml", "application/json"})
@ProduceMime({"application/xml", "application/json"})
public MessageDocument readMessage(@PathParam("user")String user,
@PathParam("messageId")String messageId, @HeaderParam("token")String
token){ .... }
}
The problem I'm seeing is that when i invoke the URL
http://localhost:8081/cxf/rest/test/domain/network/brad/mail, it
invokes the readMessage method instead of listMail. Am I using the
correct format for my annotations here?
The annontations seem fine. Can you confirm please, as your're debugging, that listMail() is also added to the list of candidates ?
I'm actually not sure what exactly JAX_RS says in this regard, the only piece I can see is this one (section 3.6, 2.f) :
"Sort E using the number of literal characters in each member as the primary key (descending order), ..., number of capturing groups as the secondary key, and the source of each member ..."
In both cases it's a resource method, so the source is the same. Number of captuting groups for listMail is 3 as opposed to 2 for readEmail(), and the number of literal characters is different. It seems like only this bit of the specification which governs the dispatch in this case, but I''ll need to verify it...
One possible workaround is to
1. Have another root class created, but with slightly different Path.
In the end, I believe it's the CXF bug rather than the ambiguity of the JAX-RS spec...Can you please open a JIRA ?
Anyway, just in case I have got it right (pig flies by) I stepped
through JAXRSUtils.findTargetMethod and I was left wondering if this
line is correct:
private static final String URITEMPLATE_VARIABLE_REGEX = "(.*?)";
I'm no regex expert but I did find this in the Java 1.5 API docs:
X*? X, zero or more times
X+? X, one or more times
Would that value make more sense as "(.+?)" ?
This is required by the spec, every template parameter is substituted by this reg expression. The rationale I believe is that it
makes it possible for a given method act as a subresource locator...
Cheers, Sergey
Thanks,
Brad.
