Thanks for the reply.
But in the first approach the client users has to follow Java naming
conventions (espc a non-java client) right?
Regarding the MultiValueMap, i like the idea, but not for Bean based. Here
the developers need to convert the map to Bean right?
I still prefer to use *@FormParam("") object*, because this looks like
standard in CXF for primitive type arguments. *@FormParam("identifier") id.*
**
I think you can ask the same contributer to include the annotation approach
or some custom way of declaring user-defined names, rather than java
variables.
