             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JAX-RS, Tooling
    Affects Versions: 3.2.6
            Reporter: Andrei Ivanov


Hi,
I have little experience using WADL and I'm trying to define a resource which 
accepts a request parameter with multiple representations (JSON and XML):
{code:xml}
<resource id="PaymentManagementService" path="/paymentmanagement">
    <resource path="/transaction/{uuid}">
        <doc>Store a Payment corresponding to the specified transaction</doc>
        <param name="uuid" style="template" type="ns:uuid" />
        <method id="storePayment" name="PUT">
            <request>
                <representation mediaType="application/json" 
element="ns:Payment" />
                <representation mediaType="application/xml" 
element="ns:Payment" />
            </request>
            <response status="200" >
                <doc>Returns the newly stored payment</doc>
                <representation mediaType="application/json" 
element="ns:Payment" />
                <representation mediaType="application/xml" 
element="ns:Payment" />
            </response>
            <response status="500" >
                <doc>Storing of the payment failed</doc>
                <representation mediaType="application/json" 
element="ns:ExceptionDetails" />
                <representation mediaType="application/xml" 
element="ns:ExceptionDetails" />
            </response>
        </method>
    </resource>
</resource>
{code}

As far as I see, after CXF-3797, the generator doesn't handle this scenario, 
considering them as different types.

I've also tried this way, which I'm not even sure are correct, but the 
generator seems to generate correct code, which is a single method which 
consumes the 2 media types:
{code:xml}
                <representation mediaType="application/json">
                    <param name="payment" style="query" type="ns:Payment" />
                </representation>
                <representation mediaType="application/xml">
                    <param name="payment" style="query" type="ns:Payment" />
                </representation>
{code}

The problem with this approach is that now I'm trying to enable _bean 
validation_, but the generator ignores this 2nd approach representations 
because it doesn't find an {{element}} attribute on the representations.

Not sure what the solution is, maybe just update the generator to handle the 
1st approach properly.
