I need to add an external route to a Quarkus REST API.

The mentioned route will look something like:

@ApplicationScoped
public class TestRoute
{
  @Route(path = "/test")
  public void testRoute(RoutingContext routingContext)
  {
    routingContext.response().end(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Test route");
  }
}

Implementing the code above in the REST API module, i.e. as a part of the same JAR, works as expected. But doing it in a different maven module, using the Jandex plugin and including it as a dependency in the API module, simply doesn’t work. Meaning that invoking the /test endpoint raises 404.

Is that supposed to work somehow or I need to implement the additional route in the same module as the API ? In this case, what if I can’t modify the API JAR ?

Many thanks in advance.
