Include a resource/endpoint in API only when property is set

[sostrich]

Hi all,

we have an API for which we may want to include a feature based on a configuration which can differ depending on the deployment environment. This feature also involves an API endpoint, which we would not like expose if the feature is not enabled.

I have had a look at the options and could think of the following.

• @IfBuildProperty - doesn't work for us, because we don't know whether the feature is enabled during build.

• @LookupIfProperty doesn't work, because, if I understand correctly, this works only when you use it together with

@Inject
Instance<FeatureDependentService> instanceOfService;

, which seems to not be an option for resources.

• returning 404 when the feature is not enabled.

    @POST
    public Response myOperation() {
        if (!featureIsEnabled) {
            return Response.status(404).build();
        }
        // ...
    }

Then the endpoint still shows up in our OpenAPI spec even if the feature is disabled, which we very much would like to avoid (since I could not find anything that would enable any openapi spec generators to ignore an endpoint based on a runtime property, I was hoping quarkus might have a possibility that would enable us to include an endpoint in our API only if a certain property is set.

Many thanks!
