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

             Summary: Improve or extend StringTextProvider to write an Object 
                 Key: CXF-6796
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6796
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JAX-RS
    Affects Versions: 3.1.5
            Reporter: Jim Ma
             Fix For: 3.1.6


CXF reports it can't find the message writer for  OrderModel class and text/plain content type when the resource class like the following:  
{code}
@Produces("text/plain")
@Path("order/{id}")
public class OrderResource {
   @GET
    public OrderModel get(@PathParam("id") @CustomMax int id) {
        return new OrderModel(id);
    }
}
{code}
It is required to change the return Class to String and explicitly invoke toString() return the String value
{code}. 
@Produces("text/plain")
@Path("order/{id}")
public class OrderResource {
    @GET
    public String get(@PathParam("id") @CustomMax int id) {
        return new OrderModel(id).toString();
    }
}
{code}
We can improve StringTextProvider to write the Object with toString value to remove the return type must be String class restriction.
