Introduce a RESTEasy Multipart extension

[gastaldi]

RESTEasy has rich support for the multipart/* and multipart/form-data mime types. The multipart mime format is used to pass lists of content bodies. Multiple content bodies are embedded in one message. multipart/form-data is often found in web application HTML Form documents and is generally used to upload files. The form-data format is the same as other multipart formats, except that each inlined piece of content has a name associated with it.

It should be supported in Protean too.

This should just be added into the bom

[gastaldi]

Just so I get this right: the resteasy.version and the dependency below should be added to the bom?

         <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-multipart-provider</artifactId>
            <version>${resteasy.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
               <exclusion>
                  <groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.annotation</groupId>
                  <artifactId>jboss-annotations-api_1.3_spec</artifactId>
               </exclusion>
               <exclusion>
                  <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
                  <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
               </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
         </dependency>

We probably want to consume the Resteasy bom, and then have our build parent import the bom as well. I am looking into it.

[gastaldi]

Can someone reopen this issue?

[gsmet]

@gastaldi I think I fixed the issue with the new BOM. You should be able to simply add the dependency with no versions. Can you check and close if OK? Thanks!

[gastaldi]

I can confirm that the new BOM contains the necessary RESTEasy artifacts. Here is what I added to make this work:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
      <artifactId>resteasy-multipart-provider</artifactId>
      <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.annotation</groupId>
          <artifactId>jboss-annotations-api_1.3_spec</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
          <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions>
    </dependency>

[gsmet]

@gastaldi reopening as if we should include that configuration in the BOM. Will do.

[gastaldi]

@gsmet just tested and when removing the exclusions I haven't noticed any errors

[gastaldi]

I can confirm that adding the following dependency is enough. Tested in 0.12.0:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
      <artifactId>resteasy-multipart-provider</artifactId>
    </dependency>
