4. Also support breaking the view layer from the control layer

If a method does not serialize or return anything, assume a default behavior so you don't have to repeat yourself all over the place. For example, if the show method did not return anything it would go to "/software/show.jsp" or /software/show.json.jsp or /software/show.xml.jsp etc according to conneg. To implement it, the semantic model needs to be exposed again:

public interface PathResolver { String pathFor(ResourceMethod method); }

Is there a plan to publish Jersey's Viewable, e.g. under jakarta.ws.rs.ext?

We are developing a code generator that allows using different JAX-RS frameworks and we were was planning to replace RequestDispatcher.forward() method calls with Response.ok(new Viewable()) only to find this will only work in Jersey.

Thanks in advance and hope I am replying to the relevant issue.

No, there isn't such a plan.

But you should have a look at JSR 371, which is an action-oriented web framework built on top of JAX-RS. The corresponding specification will go final in the next few weeks and is heavily inspired by Jersey's Viewable.
