             Summary: Deprecate application/x-java-object in the REST API
                 Key: ISPN-11966
                 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ISPN-11966
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: REST
    Affects Versions: 11.0.0.CR1
            Reporter: Dan Berindei
            Assignee: Gustavo Fernandes
             Fix For: 12.0.0.Final


The REST server supports request header {{Key-Content-Type}}, which changes the meaning of the key in the request URI to be encoded in different media types.

One of the supported media types is {{application/x-java-object}}, which parses Java primitives as if they were Java literals, with special handling for {{String}} and {{byte[]}}. The parsing rules are ad-hoc and undocumented, so I suggest we stop supporting them.

Users who want a readable URI should instead use write the key as JSON and rely on the server to transcode between JSON and the cache storage media type.
