Overriding a request method is also easy:

CXF also supports overriding request methods. However note that by default this is not allowed (since CXF 3.3.4) for a CXF service. To enable HTTP method overriding, specify the "org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.allow.http.method.override" endpoint property as "true".

Two options of overriding HTTP request methods are available - via a query parameter:

> GET /resource?_method=> GET /resource?_method=POST

Alternatively, one can specify an HTTP header X-HTTP-Method-Override:

Please see the DOSGI Reference page ('org.apache.cxf.rs' properties) and a greeter_rest sample for more information. Note that this demo can be run exactly as a SOAP-based greeter demo as it registers and consumes a similar (but) JAX-RS annotated GreeterService. In addition, this demo shows how one can register and consume a given interface (GreeterService2) without using explicit JAX-RS annotations but providing an out-of-band user model description.

OData Support

CXF JAX-RS endpoints can support OData in two ways by relying on Apache Olingo.

First, the OData "$filter" query is supported by the Search extension where an endpoint with the application specific API can respond to the filter queries, for example, return a collection of books matching the fillter search criteria.

Second, CXF JAX-RS can be used to interpose over the Olingo, as is demoed here. Effectively such a CXF endpoint becomes an OData server: all it does it delegates to Olingo. The idea is to be able to add CXF specific features and interceptors in front of Olingo.

Other Advanced Features

CXF JAX-RS provides a number of advanced extensions such as the support for the JMS transport, one-way invocations (HTTP and JMS), suspended invocations (HTTP and JMS), making existing code REST-aware by applying external user models, etc.
