Hi,

I am trying to use the ETag preconditions using the Request object but this doesn't seem to work.

I have the following code in one of my resource methods:

EntityTag etag = new EntityTag(String.valueOf(myEntity.hashCode()));

ResponseBuilder builder = request.evaluatePreconditions(etag);

Now, the evaluatePreconditions(...) method always returns null whether I send a request with no ETag header at all as in:

Request Headers:

Connection: keep-alive

Host: 127.0.0.1:8080

User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.2.3 (java 1.5)

Or whether I send an ETag header with a random value, as in:

Request Headers:

Connection: keep-alive

ETag: "asdhjkahdajkhds"

Host: 127.0.0.1:8080

User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.2.3 (java 1.5)

Or with a header set to the expected value (e.g. the hash code of my entity)

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

(Using WildFly-8.0.0.Final)

Thanks,

Savvas
