Hi Stephan
I was trying to say that if a server replies with XML when Accept like
the one you posted is used then it would be surprising to see it
replying with JSON if this one was used
> Accept : application/xml, application/json
In other words, it's likely that the ordering would make a difference in
practice. As I said, RI will reply predictably (even though HTTP and the
spec do not recommend it :-)), and so CXF will do it too. Quality
factors will be honored, by when all of them are equal then it would
make sense to
just to start with the first media types
Cheers, Sergey

This beahiour is ok according to HTTP. If you prefer xml, user
Accept: applicatio/xml;q=1,application/json;q=0.5
Or do I miss something?
