Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-4205:
---------------------------------------
CXF offers a ResponseReader provider which can be used to simplify dealing with
Response.getEntity().
I agree that we can not update Response interface ourselves.
> Please add generic type to javax.ws.rs.core.Response implementation

> Key: CXF-4205
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4205
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JAX-RS
> Affects Versions: 2.5.2
> Reporter: Marko Voss
>
> Let's assume, we have the following JAX-RS interface:
> @Path("/foo")
> public interface Foo {
> @Path("{id})
> JaxbObj retrieve(@PathParam("id");
> }
> Now, we want to change some headers for the response, so we have to change
> the interface to this:
> @Path("/foo")
> public interface Foo {
> @Path("{id})
> Response retrieve(@PathParam("id");
> }
> In our scenario, we want to offer the customers a basic client library, so
> that they do not need to implement mapping and everything again. Therefore we
> are reusing the JAX-RS interfaces on the client-side. Thanks to the maven
> dependency techniques the client library will also inherit the generated JAXB
> classes, CXF setup and everything else, the client requires to communicate
> with the server.
> So the client will now have to deal with the Object supplied by the
> Response.getEntity() method and kinda have to guess the type. If the Response
> type would be generic, there would not be such an issue. (example:
> Response<JaxbObj>)
> Since you may not be responsible for the Response interface, maybe you could
> add an extended interface or implementation.
