Description

I wanted to save myself some typing and introduce a custom method annotation for use with a response handler:

@Target(value = METHOD)
@Retention(value = RUNTIME)
@HttpMethod(value = POST)
public @interface POST_create {

}

since HATEOS resource creation is done with POST.

However a method:

@POST_create
@Consumes(CONTENT_FORM_URLENCODED)
@Description(title = "Factory method")
Dto createSomething( ... );

is not found as valid resource method.

When I annotate it with regular POST annot. it works:

@POST
@POST_create
@Consumes(CONTENT_FORM_URLENCODED)
@Description(title = "Factory method")
Dto createSomething( ... );

BTW. While trying to debug this I noticed that the HttpMethod annotation is still recognized as a valid resource method annotation ( c.f. CXF-1007 ) in org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.AnnotationUtils.initMethodAnnotationClasses() line 114
