Can you explain how?
What we initially wanted to do in Jersey was to use it in some client-side methods:
- WebTarget.queryParam, matrixParam, resolveTemplate ...
- Invocation.Builder.header, headers
But then IIRC we found it confusing because same methods as on WebTarget when used on UriBuilder would not be able to produce same results. So we decided to not use it at all. This difference in behavior between WebTarget and UriBuilder methods is something that I still find rather confusing, which is why I tend to lean towards removing the method from the API. (Just expressing my current position, let's keep on discussing.)
I'd like to hear from other experts in the group too.
