[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-1555) Rest Extension clients should be decoupled from RestEasy

[John Ament (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1555?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12922112#comment-12922112 ] 

John Ament commented on ARQ-1555:
---------------------------------

Actually, think I found a way to leverage @ArquillianResource.  Since it uses a class, the class provided could be the @ApplicationPath annotated class.

If you did

@ArquillianResource(JaxRSActivator.class) MyInterface restClient;

REST extension could look for that application path (as found on that class) and leverage that as the base URI.  If your JAXRSActivator was annotated @ApplicationPath("/rest") it would use rest.

Otherwise it should default to /, since this is the default behavior of JAX-RS.

WDYT?

> Currently, the annotation marking a REST client is "ArquillianResteasyResource", this implies that the client framework can only ever work with RestEasy.  I would like to propose renaming this annotation ArquillianRestClient, which clearily identifies it as being useful to any Rest Client framework, and make it's clearer that it's a client API (not the resource itself).
