[Resteasy-users] Is there a way to prevent a @PathParam from being uri encoded?

[Scott S. <ss...@re...>]

I have a client interface with a method like:

public interface INSP {
   @PUT
   @Path("/{domain}/subscriptions/{endpoint}{resourcePath}")
   @Produces("application/json")
   public String subscribeEndpointResource(@PathParam("domain") String domain,
                    @PathParam("endpoint") String endpoint,
                    @PathParam("resourcePath") String resourcePath);
}

A call like:

   nsp.subscribeEndpointResource("domain", "mbed-ethernet-1DE41", "/303/0/5700");

results in a request with the resourcePath component of the request URI being encoded:

The server is barfing on this because it is not uri decoding its incoming request uris. I don't have any control over it, so is there a way to prevent the resourcePath from being encoded?

Its easy enough to work around by coding my own subscribeEndpointResource utility method using the rest easy client classes, but it would be nice to simply be able to use the generated
web target proxy.
