No JSON depth control with Badgerfish

[Cyril]

Hello,
I tried to apply depthProperties on JSONProvider as told in section
"Controlling Large JAXB XML and JSON input payloads" [1], but with
Badgerfish convention:

<bean class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.json.JSONProvider">
    <property name="convention" value="badgerfish" />
    <property name="depthProperties">
        <bean class="org.apache.cxf.staxutils.DocumentDepthProperties">
            <property name="innerElementCountThreshold" value="2" />
            <property name="innerElementLevelThreshold" value="2" />
        </bean>
     </property>
</bean>

This has *no* effect. Looking at the source code of JSONProvider class [2],
I realized that this is obviously not supported (see lines of code down
below). However, I could not find any mention of this limitation in the doc
[1].

Shall I create an issue or is this not supported by design for some reason?
In any case, it should be mentioned in the documentation.

Regards,
Cyril

Code from JSONProvider class:

protected XMLStreamReader createReader(Class<?> type, InputStream is,
String enc)
        throws Exception {
        XMLStreamReader reader = null;
        if (BADGER_FISH_CONVENTION.equals(convention)) {
            reader = JSONUtils.createBadgerFishReader(is, enc);
        } else {
            reader = JSONUtils.createStreamReader(is,
                                                  readXsiType,
                                                  namespaceMap,
                                                  namespaceSeparator,
                                                  primitiveArrayKeys,
                                                  getDepthProperties(),
                                                  enc);
        }
        reader = createTransformReaderIfNeeded(reader, is);

        return reader;
    }
