Hi
IMHO there's something not right with the current RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint().
The problem is that two goals are aimed at here.
First, the spec is talking about preprocessing some info available from the ApplicationConfig. ApplicationConfig is supposed to be a portable way to submit a user's configuration to the underlying runtime. But, it won't actually work, unless say, other implementations, support a Grizzly Adapter interface.
To me it seems like there's no portabel way for a user to submit an ApplicationConfig.
I'd really like to have either
RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint(new ApplicationConfigImpl())
or be able just to use the existing method as
RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint(new ApplicationConfigImpl(), null)
For ex, in CXF, Neither JAX-RS impl nor the nor the user writing a mainline code know about the existense of Jetty, so it's kind of unclear to me why, for users being to provide their config through ApplicationConfig they have to do
JettySpecificInterface jetty = RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint(new ApplicationConfigImpl(), JettySpecificInterface.class);
jetty.start(
http://foo);
I'd prefer to have ApplicationConfig extended to have
1. most obvious property :
ApplicationConfig.getAddress()
and RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint changed to
2. RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint(ApplicationConfig ac, MultivaluedMap<String, String> adaptorProperties)
with optional adaptorProperties intended for a stack-specific underlying (transport/server) engines
and then have
3. Endpoint e = RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint(ApplicationConfig);
(something along the line of what Bill suggested)
and then have
e.start/stop/getApplicationConfig()/etc....
Thoughts ?
Cheers, Sergey

Right, so code is portable between implementations that support the
same types of endopints.
