Sergey Beryozkin commented on CXF-4224: --------------------------------------- Interesting, at the moment the assumption is the name of the annotation should match that of @HttpMethod's value. Can they be different ? > Custom HTTP methods (HttpMethod annot) not supported? > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CXF-4224 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4224 > Project: CXF > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.5.3 > Reporter: Jakub Bocheński > > I wanted to save myself some typing and introduce a custom method annotation > for use with a response handler: > @Target(value = METHOD) > @Retention(value = RUNTIME) > @HttpMethod(value = POST) > public @interface POST_create { > } > since HATEOS resource creation is done with POST. > However a method: > @POST_create > @Consumes(CONTENT_FORM_URLENCODED) > @Description(title = "Factory method") > Dto createSomething( ... ); > is not found as valid resource method. > When I annotate it with regular POST annot. it works: > @POST > @POST_create > @Consumes(CONTENT_FORM_URLENCODED) > @Description(title = "Factory method") > Dto createSomething( ... ); > BTW. While trying to debug this I noticed that the HttpMethod annotation is > still recognized as a valid resource method annotation ( c.f. CXF-1007 ) in > org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.AnnotationUtils.initMethodAnnotationClasses() line > 114 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
