Hi Markus

Well, thanks for keeping commenting, and while I'm tempted to give up,
I'll keep replying just for the sake of making sure that what I
suggested is at least clearly understood, and given your comments, it is
not, which is entirely my fault as I'm failing to explain..., so

Look at the signature of the sample code posted by Marek (I do like what
he prototyped and what I'm talking about here is arguably an
optimization). So a method returns an SSE handler which (I'm sorry if
I'm wrong) is responsible for formatting the overall output payload on
the per-even basis, including I guess sticking text/sse-stream.

In JAX-RS 1) @Produces affects does the intersection and the final
response CT - 2) which affects the selection of MessageBodyWriter - 3)
which formats the response data.
I agree @Produces(text/sse-stream) can be used to intersect - but it is
not affecting the selection of MBW for the purpose of formatting the
overall response.
So I'd say neither proposal reusing the existing solution.

So what I suggested is to keep using @Produces for selecting MBW for
formatting indiv event data pieces. @SSEProduces was a 'response' to
Santiago comments, and the idea there is to make it obvious that there
are two Media Types which are in play here, one is text/event-stream -
which is a MT for the overall SSE response, and another MT - the one
needed to select a MessageBodyWriter for formatting the event data pieces

I don't believe you keep saying it about my proposal :-).

I'm sure you know, without SSE, when we have

@Produces("application/json")
@GET
public Book getBook() {
     return Response.ok(new Book()).type("application/xml").build();
}

the final CT to be used for selecting MBW is "application/xml". I.e, if
the application code does not set "application/xml" then the default
application/json is set, but the application can override it.

This is exactly what I suggested:

@Produces("application/json")
@SseProduces
public SseOutputChannel get() {
     // set MT for a given event to application/bar
}

or

@SseProduces
@Produces("application/json")
public SseOutputChannel get() {
     // all events data are JSON - why set it for every event if non-SSE
users can avoid doing by having @Produces ?
}

or

@SseProduces
public SseOutputChannel get() {
     // all events data MTs are set individually
}


However I'm agreeing that

'_at_SseProduces' is a special approach. Hmm...

So what can be done to make this (non SSE)

@Produces("application/json")
@GET
public Book getBook() {
     return Response.ok(new Book()).build();
}

where a user does not have to set a type on every response working for
SSE too ?

By the way, Marek are you interested at all in discussing it :-) ? I
know it is been in Jersey for nearly a year now so may it is all already
written in stone and no point spending time on discussing it further...

Thanks, Sergey
