Hi everyone ! I've been trying to get the @PATCH method get working for a while now but with not further success. I've noticed it haven't been present in CXF 3.0.2, but been added to CXF 3.1.2 into the package package org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext; ( it's missing in documnetation tho )
When I try to use PATCH method to call my service, I get * Caused by: java.net.ProtocolException: Invalid HTTP method: PATCH at java.net.HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod(HttpURLConnection.java:428)* The setRequestMethod is looking for methodn name in statically defined list of methods, defined as * private static final String[] methods = { "GET", "POST", "HEAD", "OPTIONS", "PUT", "DELETE", "TRACE" };* And since it doesn't find PATCH, it throws * throw new ProtocolException("Invalid HTTP method: " + method);* Browsing forums and mailing lists, I found these posts here : http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.cxf.user/25919 Saying I can use async transport and then the PATCH should work * String address = "http://localhost:" + PORT + "/bookstore/retrieve"; WebClient wc = WebClient.create(address); WebClient.getConfig(wc).getRequestContext().put("use.async.http.conduit", true); Book book = wc.invoke("RETRIEVE", null, Book.class);* However, even if I try to call my service like this, it's still failing. Moreover even if this would work, I find it a bit hacky. Why is PATCH not supported, if it's been added to CXF ? I have other services working properly, the only service which are throwing this exception are the ones annotated with @PATCH. What is the problem ? Thanks a lot in advance for any tips !
