    Description

      Server-side JAX-RS implementation allows injection of custom parameter converters using ParamConverterProvider (http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-basics.html#JAX-RSBasics-Parameterconverters).
      A similar mechanism (or the exact same) is required on the client side to control how parameters are serialized (marshalled). One approach is to allow specifying param converters when declaring jaxrs:client with Spring and/or programmatically specifying it.

      A specific case to consider: Client side serialization of Date object (java.util.Date).

      Given the following API:

      @Path(“/someresource”)
      @GET
      void someApi(@MatrixParam(“”) SomeRequestWithDate request);

      Following shows the structure of the request with Dates:
      //----------------------------------------------------
      import java.util.Date;

      public class SomeRequestWithDate {
      protected Date startDate;

      public Date getStartDate()

      { return startDate; }

      }
      //----------------------------------------------------
      When API is invoked through a client proxy

      Then the following URL should be generated (where dates are serialized as ISO strings):

      /someresource/;startDate=2014-09-04T19:05:38.785Z

      Instead, currently following URL is generated:

      /someresource/;startDate.date=4;startDate.hours=15;startDate.minutes=4;startDate.month=8;startDate.seconds=34;startDate.time=1409857474660;startDate.year=114;startDate.day=4;startDate.timezoneOffset=240
