---------------------------------------

Hi,

I'm tempted to close this JIRA as 'won't fix'.

There's some ambiguity there with respect to handling query parameters, but the 
thing is that a query like

if we have for example

@QueryParam("option") String option

then given a query like

?option

we should an empty String, as the value of the 'option' parameter.

'Null' means the query was not there while an empty value means there was a 
query parameter but without the usual name=value.

?option may not be the best example, but if we have something like

?_wadl

and get a null then it means there was no _wadl query...


Does it make sense or do you disagree ? We may need to ask a question in the 
jaxrs users list. I definitely did get an answer regarding an emty value 
representing a query where only a key is available. 




thanks, Sergey

>          Components: JAX-RS

>            Priority: Minor

> CXF sets a null collection, rather than an empty one, when the query param 
> isn't in the request
> Example:
>     @GET
>     @Path("/stuff")
>     public Response get(@QueryParam("option") Set<String> options) { ... }
> and http://localhost:8080/stuff is called (but ?option=abc is not on the 
> query string), then options will be null, but it should be an empty Set
> The javadocs in @DefaultValue says:
> If this annotation is not used and the corresponding metadata is not present 
> in the request, the value will be an empty collection for List, Set or 
> SortedSet
> this seems similar to CXF-1675
