Legends:

Y: Indicates that you can use the injection annotation

N: Indicates that you cannot use the injection annotation

C : Indicates that you can use the injection annotation, but not in combination with the DefaultValue annotation.

#1

On receiving multiple parameters with the same name, the JAX-RS engine uses the value of only the first parameter.

#2

On receiving multiple parameters with the same name, the JAX-RS engine injects the value of only the last parameter.

#3

When a type contains one String type argument and both the static valueOf and static fromString methods returning instance of that type, the JAX-RS engine uses the value fromString method.

#4

When a type contains one String type argument and both the static valueOf and static fromString methods returning instance of that type, the JAX-RS engine uses the static valueOf method.

#5

For a type other than the enum type, the equals() method and hashCode() method of java.lang.Object must be appropriately implemented in the class or in the respective parent class to be specified in T in accordance with the rules of the Java language.

#6

For the type other than enum, the java.lang.Comparable interface must be implemented in the class or the respective parent class to be specified in T.

#7

In some cases, the valueOf method, fromString method, and constructors are invoked multiple times when initializing for validating the injection.

The error (KDJJ10006-E) occurs when you use any of the annotations for the types described in No. 22, No. 36, No. 50, No. 64, and No. 65 of the aforementioned table. The system returns t HTTP response with the HTTP status code 500 in the root resource class and throws java.lang.RuntimeException, which can be handled by the exception mapping provider.

However, if you use any of the annotations for the types described in No. 14, No. 28, No. 42, and No. 56 of the table, the system throws java.lang.RuntimeException, which can be handled by the exception mapping provider.
