Unfortunately in the world of backwards compatbility, there is no democracy. ;-)

Two against one. Fix the spec :-)

The JAX-RS Expert Group discussed the situation and here is the preliminary result:
* What Jersey does is compliant with the JAX-RS specification, but non-intuitive.
* What CXF and RestEasy do violates the JAX-RS specification formally, but is intuitive.
* The Expert Group currently discusses possible solutions.

To stop further confusion, I will take this question with me in the JAX-RS Expert Group forum and discuss it with all vendors, and report the result here.

At first glance, this definitely sounds unintuitive.

Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago I've created a bug ticket JERSEY-2942.<
https://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-2942> Unfortunately this ticket has been closed quite fast with the status "Works as designed". 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/1 request - 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.
Regards
Greg
