Description

I am not sure weather its bug or I am doing something wrong. Basically I am creating REST API with Enum as one of the QueryParam. The Enum class is generated from xsd :

Enum in xsd:
<xsd:simpleType name="CodeEnum">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="One" />
<xsd:enumeration value="Two" />
<xsd:enumeration value="Hello World" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Jaxb class for Enum has variables ONE("One"), TWO("Two"), HELLO_WORLD("Hello World")

REST API: getCode(@QueryParam("code") CodeEnum code);

CXF Generated WADL content for API is :

<resource path="getCode">
<method name="GET">
<request>
<param name="code" style="query" type="xs:string">
<option value="ONE"/>
<option value="TWO"/><option value="HELLO_WORLD"/>
</param></request>

Here What I observed in wadl is options values are Enum names I would expect Enum values..

If above wadl option is selected . CXF server throws IllegalArgumentException since it could not find ONE.

Is it bug or is there any work around to solve this issue

Thanks in advance.
