----------------------------------
Summary: Enable use of reflection in JAX-RS client by default
Key: CXF-7448
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7448
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAX-RS
Affects Versions: 3.2.0
Reporter: Andy McCright
Fix For: 3.2.0
Per discussion on the dev list, we should enable the use of reflection for
"non-standard" HTTP methods in the JAX-RS client. By default, the
HttpURLConnection will only allow "standard" HTTP methods, such as GET, PUT,
POST, DELETE, OPTIONS and HEAD. It does not include PATCH or other
user-defined methods and will throw an exception when a user attempts to use
one of these methods.
CXF already works around this issue by using reflection to set HTTP method when
a system property or message property is set. This bypasses the check and
allows the method to process. For CXF 3.2, I would like to make this property
enabled by default, so that these "non-standard" HTTP methods will work by
default.
