jakarta.ws.rs vs javax.ws.rs
by Benno Fünfstück
Hello,
I see that resteasy uses the `javax.ws.rs` package. But the jakarta EE
jars provide `jakarta.ws.rs`. It seems that the two namespaces are not
compatible. What's the relation between them?
Best,

There is no way that I'm aware of to associate a converter with a type.
However, returning null is the way to stop processing a
ParamConverterProvider.
