Hi I'd like to start a new discussion with the purpose of trying to figure out what concrete advantages providing an alternative URI Template implementation [1] can bring to CXF JAXRS users.
Andy and Bill have agreed that it can be good for generating concrete URIs. However using it for generating URIs only would basically make it impossible for users to use expressions possible with [1] in JAXRS Path annotations which is really a main point of providing an alternative mechanism which users could try while still relying on the JAXRS runtime to deal with the invocations. So I'd really like to see what concrete advantages users can get while using [1] for matching, as opposed to using the default JAXRS spec-compliant URITemplate. Comments are welcome and I'm hoping to contribute as well :-) thanks, Sergey [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-04
