So how about an "experimental" switch, that would control the method selection. You stay compliant with the specs (regardless of wether it is indeed broken our not) and the users will get the expected and intuitive behavior.

What Marek wants to say is, despite how "strange" the behaviour is, as long as it is covered by the spec, we cannot change it, as no spec must break backwards behaviour ever. From: cowwoc [mailto:cowwoc_at_bbs.darktech.org]

Subject: [Jersey] Re: Discussion about re-opening a bug: JERSEY-2942 Backwards compatibility is an admirable goal, but are you honestly saying that there are customers relying upon the current (seemingly broken) behavior, and they would be upset if it was changed?

At first glance, this definitely sounds unintuitive.

But I believe this is a misunderstanding.In the issue's comments you can read a short discussion on this topic. Generally, IMO current Jersey behavior is quite ridiculous, because when having exactly matching method to serve a GET /api/users/1request - Jersey chooses method annotated with @DELETE. No other JAX-RS implementations that I'm aware of (Apache CXF and RESTeasy) behaves this way. But I know I could be wrong here. What do you think?Any insights are appreciated. RegardsGreg
