[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2476) Allow to choose CXF as jax-rs provider instead of Resteasy

[Luciano Blasetti (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2476?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12639629#comment-12639629 ] 

Luciano Blasetti commented on AS7-2476:
---------------------------------------

Actually I think that from an architectural point of view the request should be kept into account and it should be part of the main AS7.
Having a common framework for delivering both soap and restful service would minimize the libraries and the dependencies on the server side, optimizing also the memory usage (e.g. if you have a service exposed with both soap and rest). Besides Apache CXF provide features not included in Resteasy, like the automatic generation of WADL descriptors.

I perfectly understand that Resteasy is a "friend" JBoss project, but in my opinion the design of the application server should not be influenced by policies and decisions not directly driven by technical motivations.

> Since Apache CXF provides a very good support for jax-rs and it is the mechanism for providing jax-ws in AS7, it does make sense to adopt it also for jax-rs services (it would be a more homogeneous solution), at least giving the chance to choose between the resteasy and cxf implementation through a configuration option.
