Andriy Redko commented on CXF-8097: ----------------------------------- Hey [~carsten.d] , Thanks a lot for the sample project. I've noticed that you are using custom resource comparator (by overriding the CXF's default one): {noformat} ... factory.setResourceComparator(new QueryResourceInfoComperator()); factory.setServiceName(new QName("CXF-8097")); return factory.create(); {noformat} This comparator's implementation is the reason why you see warning. When default CXF resource comparator is used , the warning is gone: {noformat} 2020-01-02 16:24:53,814 INFO [qtp603658030-20] [] [ServletRequestLogHandler.handle:23] Request: HEAD /api/test/path/x/y/z/test, Content-Type: null, Body: 0 bytes 2020-01-02 16:24:53,828 INFO [qtp603658030-20] [] [TestRestServiceImpl.testAsHeadRequest:46] HEAD request 2020-01-02 16:24:53,828 INFO [qtp603658030-20] [] [ServletRequestLogHandler.handle:33] Response -- Status: 200, Content-Type: application/octet-stream 2020-01-02 16:24:55,808 INFO [qtp603658030-19] [] [ServletRequestLogHandler.handle:23] Request: GET /api/test/path/x/y/z/test, Content-Type: null, Body: 0 bytes 2020-01-02 16:24:55,810 INFO [qtp603658030-19] [] [TestRestServiceImpl.test:34] GET request 2020-01-02 16:24:55,810 INFO [qtp603658030-19] [] [ServletRequestLogHandler.handle:33] Response -- Status: 200, Content-Type: null {noformat} The issue is that the custom comparator (*QueryResourceInfoComperator*) is inherited from *OperationResourceInfoComparator* but does not properly initialize it (passing *null*s to parent's constructor). {noformat} public QueryResourceInfoComperator() { super(null, null); } {noformat} This is purely CXF documentation fault (since this where the original example of custom resource comparator comes from), the *OperationResourceInfoComparator* is not reusable and is very context-dependent. Probably, the simplest solution in this case is to remove *OperationResourceInfoComparator* from inheritance chain and use delegation instead (otherwise the important details (like HTTP method) are not passed through, leading to warnings and surprises), for example: {noformat} @Override public int compare(OperationResourceInfo oper1, OperationResourceInfo oper2, Message message) { // HTTP method final String httpMethod = HttpUtils.getProtocolHeader(message, Message.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD, HttpMethod.POST, true); final OperationResourceInfoComparator delegate = new OperationResourceInfoComparator(null, httpMethod); // Check if CXF can make a decision final int cxfResult = delegate .compare(oper1, oper2); ... } {noformat} The proper fix would take some time but the workaround with delegation should do the job meantime. I am wondering, would it work for the time being? Thank you.
