[jira] Created: (WINK-310) Annotations inherited by a resource class should determine parameter type from the subclass, not the superclass

Annotations inherited by a resource class should determine parameter type from the subclass, not the superclass
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WINK-310
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WINK-310
             Project: Wink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Server
    Affects Versions: 1.1
            Reporter: Nick Maynard


I have a generic service interface, like so:

public interface GenericService<T> {
        @POST
        @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        public void doSomething(T obj);
}

And an implementation of the interface, like so:

@Path("/impl")
public class Impl implements GenericService<RealJAXBType> {
        public void doSomething(RealJAXBType obj) {
                // blah blah
        }
}

RealJAXBType is annotated as a JAXB XMLRootElement.  For information's 
sake, I'm using Apache Wink 1.1 with Jackson 1.5.5.

When I call the service exposed by the Wink servlet, Wink attempts to 
deserialize the passed JSON content to an HashMap of some description, not 
a RealJAXBType.  I assume that's because the @POST annotation is on the 
generic interface.  My guess is that Wink picks up the "class" of T, which 
is of course Object (as generic type T isn't scoped), and based on this, 
attempts a best-effort conversion into a HashMap, which is incompatible 
with the implementation's type of RealJAXBType.

I've verified this happens for an abstract superclass as well as an 
interface, so I guess it's to do with the annotation inheritance code.

This seems unintuitive - I'd certainly expect Wink to look at the 
implementation parameter's class when deciding what to attempt to 
deserialise the JSON content into.  Ideally, I'd like Wink to heed the 
type of the implementation.

Mike Rheinheimer updated WINK-310:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: WINK-310.patch

Thanks Nick.  Attached is the patch, with test.  I've already committed it in SVN rev 992311, so you should see it in the snapshots soon.

Please let me know if this satisfies your request, and close out the Jira.

I like the construct you suggested.  Please feel free to post more suggestions to the dev list and Jira.  We'd love to hear more feedback.

-----------------------------------

>From Mike Rheinheimer, on dev mailing list:

At first glance, I think you're right; that Wink should support the
construct you've implemented.  Can you open an improvement Jira for
this?

The accumulation of metadata for the methods declared in the resource
class registered should be improved.  I have an idea for a solution.

Sure Nick, you can grab the latest SNAPSHOTS of most projects from the Maven snapshots repository after Hudson builds:

Mike,

That's great, thanks!  Is there any way we can download a build that includes this patch for testing?
