Sergey Beryozkin edited comment on CXF-2986 at 9/13/10 5:23 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm tempted to close this JIRA as 'won't fix'. There's some ambiguity there with respect to handling query parameters, but if we have for example @QueryParam("option") String option then given a query like ?option we should get 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 was (Author: sergey_beryozkin): Hi, I'm tempted to close this JIRA as 'won't fix'.
