[Resteasy-developers] @OPTIONS

[Christian S. <chr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just tried to call OPTIONS on a Resource and always get a "405 Method not
allowed". Should it work already using beta5? Also I could not find @OPTIONS
in javax.ws.rs as described in
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/UsingPathAndGETPOSTEtc.

>From the spec I get 3.3.5:
On receipt of an OPTIONS request an implementation MUST either:
1. Call a method annotated with a request method designator for OPTIONS or,
if none present,
2. Generate an automatic response using the metadata provided by the JAX-RS
annotations on the matching class and its methods.

Is this still to be implemented or has there be any change in plan? I think
if no @OPTIONS is present RESTeasy should at least return the Allow header.
It might also make sense to annotate a resource method with @OPTIONS to
provide a custom response maybe a machine readable description, but I am not
sure about this.

A while ago I also promised some more feedback on the client framework. I
can only say that I didn't have any problems and everything worked fine for
me.

Thanks!

Christian
