If I understand you correctly then my example clearly shows they can be diferent.

I think what I've done is valid acording to the jax-rs spec.
OTOH I have no idea where the assumtion that annotation [class-]name must much the HttpMethods argument came from.

> I wanted to save myself some typing and introduce a custom method annotation for use with a response handler:
> @Target(value = METHOD)
> @Retention(value = RUNTIME)
> @HttpMethod(value = POST)
> public @interface POST_create {
> }
> since HATEOS resource creation is done with POST.
> However a method:
> @POST_create 
> @Consumes(CONTENT_FORM_URLENCODED)
> @Description(title = "Factory method")
> Dto createSomething( ... );
> is not found as valid resource method.
> When I annotate it with regular POST annot. it works:
> @POST
> @POST_create 
> @Consumes(CONTENT_FORM_URLENCODED)
> @Description(title = "Factory method")
> Dto createSomething( ... );
> BTW. While trying to debug this I noticed that the HttpMethod annotation is still recognized as a valid resource method annotation ( c.f. CXF-1007 ) in org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.AnnotationUtils.initMethodAnnotationClasses() line 114
