Subject: Re: [Jersey] Multiple HTTP methods per resource method

Hi All,
Is there a technical reason for not allowing multiple HTTP
method annotations per single resource method?
Yes, it would encourage the bad practice of assuming that the semantics
of more that one HTTP method are the same.
For example, I'd like
something like this:
@POST
@PUT
@Path("/person/create.{format}")
@Produces({"application/json", "application/xml"})
@Consumes("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
public Response createPerson(@PathParam("format") String format, Form
formData) {
// Do work
}
The reason for this is that some web browsers do not allow the PUT
method to be used, or haven't in the past. That being said, many
service providers using REST end up having to support both PUT and POST
for create operations. Whenever I try this with Jersey, I get an error
saying that this isn't allowed. Can someone shed some light on this?
The best approach is to use a filter.
Jersey has a server side filter you can use that supports the
X-HTTP-Method-Override header.
See the following thread for more details:
