How to create a patch

1. Checkout the code

I checked out the WSO2 JAX-RS Starbucks service from here;

 http://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/platform/branches/4.2.0/products/as/5.2.0/modules/samples/product/Jaxws-Jaxrs/jaxrs_starbucks_service  

2. Make the change

I wanted this service to work as Non-SOAP for HTTP POST requests; So I changed the code as;

From here;

 @Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_XML)  // consumes text/xml  

To this;

 @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)  // consumes application/xml  

3. Create the diff

Now use the following svn command to create the patch diff

 $ svn diff > patch.diff  

4. Patch diff will look like this
