Re: [jaxrs-dev] Allow multiple HTTP method annotations on the same resou

[Christian Kaltepoth <christian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,

thanks for bringing this up. To be honest, I don't like the idea of allowing different HTTP method annotations on a single resource method. Especially because it would allow weird combinations like @GET & @POST which doesn't make much sense. However, I agree that clarifying that such combinations aren't allowed would be a good thing.

Hi All,

We had an internal customer ask whether it was allowed to use multiple method annotations on the same resource method - for example:

@Path("/somePath")

public class MyResource {

    @POST

    @PUT

    public Response postOrPut(...) {...}

}

I couldn't find anywhere in the spec where this was explicitly allowed or forbidden.  I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on whether this should be allowed or not.  I'm mostly on the fence, but leaning toward not allowing it, but I can see it's usefulness.  In either case, I think it would be good to document it to avoid ambiguity and potential portability issues.

What do you all think?

Thanks,

Andy
