Question

Can we use the @defaultValue annotation when using the RESTEasy client framework ?

The compiler doesn’t complain about this :

public interface XClient {  

@GET
@Path("/rest/search")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)    
public String getInformation(
        @QueryParam("partner") @DefaultValue("xxxxxx") String apiKey);
}

But how can I call this getInformation method without passing the apiKey parameter. In a way that the “xxxxxx” value would be taken instead.

Is that possible or am I misunderstanding the @DefaultValue annotation purpose ?

EDIT :

This cannot be done using the @DefaultValue annotation. Maybe there is another solution. There is not much documentation about the client side of the RESTEasy framework.

Answer 1

This cannot be done using the @DefaultValue annotation (Using the Client Framework).
