Romain Manni-Bucau commented on CXF-5970:
-----------------------------------------
suppose there is an unexpected sort from user point of view: you have foo/bar
and */* and you want the */* provider to be called first. With default impl it
will be pushed at the end so foo/bar will be called first. This case is not
handled at all and since as a user you specify a list then it should be
"respectable" by cxf.

> Actually the task can be rephrase saying rework
> org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory#*Comparators
> Current implementations don't seem to have an absolute order which means
> sorting is not as deterministic as it should be under java >= 7.
> Other point is as a user you set a List of providers (you probably already
> sorted if important) so you want to ensure *your* order is respected at
> runtime (ie
> org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory#message[Readers|Writers]
> respect it).
> If you think this sorting is important maybe introducing in
> org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.AbstractJAXRSFactoryBean and
> org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory a boolean sortProviders can be
> enough to prevent calling sortXXX().
