             Summary: More flexible QueryParams
                 Key: CXF-5038
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5038
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Vincent Tremblay


It would be useful to be able to handle how a bean is traduced into QueryParam.

I can see something like a ParametersWriter<T> and a ParametersReader<T> to achieve this goal.

Ex.

Let's say that you have the object "ComplexeObject" that you want to pass to by a "GET" call to a REST api as a set of parameters. You could annotate the parameter with a @QueryParam and implement a ParametersWriter that will create the parameters for you.

public class ParametersWriter<ComplexeObject> {
    
    writeParameters(ComplexeObject object, Map<String, List<Object>> params) {

         params.put(..., ...);
         params.put(..., ...);

    }
}

Then, on the server side, you could have a ParametersReader<ComplexeObject> that can rebuild the object from the request's parameters.
