orry for the terrible subject and the second post, seems my first one did not take...

This seems like such an obvious issue that I am surprised I have not found it in jira. As soon as I start to subclass my interfaces as in the following example the client chokes a bit unexpectedly.

Environment = RestEasy 1.0.2.GA, OS X, java 1.5

Webservice base url = http://localhost:8080/ws

=================================================
ClientTest.java
=================================================
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations=

{"/webservices-client-context.xml"}

)
public class ClientTest {

@Resource
private ServiceLocation serviceLocation;

@Test
public void testBasic()

{ RegisterBuiltin.register(ResteasyProviderFactory.getInstance()); UserEntity u = new UserEntity(); u.setUsername("user"); UserEntityWebservice serviceClient = ProxyFactory.create(UserEntityWebservice.class, serviceLocation.getUrl()); UserEntity newUser = serviceClient.create(u); System.out.println("**** " + newUser.getUsername()); }

}

=================================================
UserEntity.java
=================================================
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
@XmlRootElement(name="user")
public class UserEntity {

@XmlElement
private String username;

public UserEntity()

{ super(); }

public String getUsername()

{ return username; }

public void setUsername(String username)

{ this.username = username; }

}

=================================================
UserEntityWebservice.java
=================================================
@Path("/user")
@Produces(

{"application/xml","application/json"})
@Consumes({"application/xml","application/json"}

)
public interface UserEntityWebservice extends CRUDEntityWebservice {

}

=================================================
CRUDEntityWebservice.java
=================================================
public interface CRUDEntityWebservice {

@POST
@Path("/")
public UserEntity create( UserEntity entity );
}

If I run this as is I get:

java.lang.RuntimeException: You must define a @ConsumeMime type on your client method or interface
at org.jboss.resteasy.client.core.ClientMarshallerFactory.createMarshaller(ClientMarshallerFactory.java:104)

If I add the annotation to the CRUDEntityWebservice as this:

@Produces(

{"application/xml","application/json"})
@Consumes({"application/xml","application/json"}

)
public interface CRUDEntityWebservice {

@POST
@Path("/")
public UserEntity create( UserEntity entity );
}

I get a 404 error and the log shows that it's not getting the correct path built.

[DEBUG] wire.header >> "POST /paymentobjects-webservices/ws/ HTTP/1.1[\r][\n]"
org.jboss.resteasy.client.ClientResponseFailure: Error status 404 Not Found returned

Finally if I add a add a Path to the CRUD interface it all works fine:

@Path("/usr")
@Produces(

{"application/xml","application/json"})
@Consumes({"application/xml","application/json"}

)
public interface CRUDEntityWebservice {

@POST
@Path("/")
public UserEntity create( UserEntity entity );
}

This seems like such an obvious use case that I am quite surprised that I am running into it. If this is the way things are supposed then I would have to flatten out my Webservice interfaces to make this work which just sounds silly. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
