Re: [resteasy-dev] SPI to add JAX-RS annotations dynamically

Hi, My name is Christian Kaltepoth and I'm specification lead of JSR 371 (MVC 1.0). As you may know, JSR 371 is about creating an action-based web framework on top of JAX-RS. The reference implementation of JSR 371 was previously only targeted to support Jersey. But we want to change that. Therefore, we are currently looking for ways to integrate with other JAX-RS implementations. Unfortunately there are certain features which cannot be implemented using the plain JAX-RS API. That's why we are also looking into using JAX-RS implementation specific SPIs. One thing we are currently working on is the following requirement: MVC controllers (which are just special CDI-based JAX-RS resources) should be treated as if they are annotated with @Produces("text/html) without the need to add the annotation manually. The current draft of the specification states: *The semantics of controller methods differ slightly from JAX-RS resource > methods; [...] Moreover, the default media type for a response is assumed > to be text/html , but otherwise can be declared using @Produces just like > in JAX-RS.* Jersey provides a special SPI which allows us to hook into the metadata for JAX-RS resources: https://github.com/jersey/jersey/blob/master/core-server/ src/main/java/org/glassfish/jersey/server/model/ModelProcessor.java#L75 Is there anything like that in RESTEasy? I looked into the code but unfortunately didn't find anything like that.
