Shon Vella updated CXF-7765:
----------------------------
Description:
When org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.model.URITemplate.compareTemplates() is passed two
templates with the same number of literal characters, it returns -1 regardless
of the order the templates a passed in. I suppose this may be on purpose, but
the result is that if compareTemplates() is used as the basis of a
Comparator<URITemplate> that is used by java.util.Collections.sort() it can
result in:
{{java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general
contract!}}
I would also expect that this would result in some degree of unpredictability
of the prioritization of when selecting the appropriate JAX-RS method to call
for a give request.
