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

             Summary: Provider class sorting requires rework
                 Key: CXF-8531
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8531
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JAX-RS
    Affects Versions: 3.4.3
            Reporter: David Blevins
             Fix For: 3.5.0


The current code to sort MessageBodyReaders and MessageBodyWriters appears to have some issues:

 - It sorts in descending order, so the most generic types are at the top of the list and {{Foo implements MessageBodyReader<Object>}} wins over {{Bar implements MessageBodyReader<Color>}}
 - It grabs any generics it finds, even if they don't relate to the interface.  If your provider implements several generic interfaces such as  {{Foo implements MessageBodyReader<Object>, MessageBodyWriter<URI>}}  you would not be guaranteed to have your sort in the {{messageReader}} or {{messageWriter}} list reflect your actual generic type for that specific interface.
