Re: [jaxrs-dev] Another request for extension
|
I've created https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/707, with
a rather artificial example of an application specific header.
Particularly relevant is the treatment of the HeaderDelegate as a
provider. Although it doesn't show up in this example, it's especially
convenient to be able to include a HeaderDelegate in a
META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers file.

Ron,
It’s a good observation. I suppose application extensibility was not deemed as important at the time.
Perhaps you can create an issue with some examples to help the discussion.

Nothing in the JAX-RS 2.1 spec says that javax.ws.rs.ext.RuntimeDelegate$HeaderDelegate is a provider, which means that there is no reason to expect that something like javax.ws.rs.core.Configurable.register(Class<?>) will work for a HeaderDelegate. Moreover, there is no compulsion to recognize a declaration of a HeaderDelegate in a META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers file, or a definition of a HeaderDelegate annotated with @Provider.
It's much easier to register a HeaderDelegate if it is recognized as a provider. Moreover, Just as one might want to use an application specific MessageBodyReader, one might want to use an application specific header, so it makes sense to think of a HeaderDelegate as a provider.
