Hi Russ,
consider a resource like this:
@Path("helloworld")
@Produces("text/plain")
public class HelloWorldResource {
@GET
public String getHello() {
return "Hello World!";
}
@HEAD
public String headHello() {
return "Hello World!";
}
}
If you call, via your client, HTTP HEAD method on this resource the
HelloWorldResource#headHello() method would be invoked (for HTTP GET it
would be HelloWorldResource#getHello()).
If we change the resource to something like this:
@Path("helloworld")
@Produces("text/plain")
public class HelloWorldResource {
@GET
public String getHello() {
return "Hello World!";
}
}
Then for both HTTP GET and HTTP HEAD the HelloWorldResource#getHello()
would be invoked.
If you're experiencing different behaviour, please, describe your
use-case in more detail or file an issue into our JIRA.
