How to disabled / configure FuzzyEnumParamConverterProvider

[Fabio Cechinel Veronez]

Hello all,

I couldn't find any documentation to reference to here, but from what I could check Dropwizard uses / registers a quite "permissive" JAX-RS parameter converter called "FuzzyEnumParamConverter" [1][2].

Basically it leads to values with different cases, spaces and/or dots to be accepted and "coerced" to a enum value. [3]

I would like to disable that behavior and use a stricter converter instead which only converts exact matches of a enum literal value.

From what I could check FuzzyEnumParamConverter is hard codedly registered in DropwizardResourceConfig [4]. So the only way I could think of to achieve the behavior I want is to register yet another ParamConverterProvider, with a higher priority, with my custom implementation.

But before going that way, I would like to confirm, is there any other way to either completely disable FuzzyEnumParamConverter or somehow configure its behavior? 

I'm using Dropwizard version 2.0.13.

Thanks in advance.
