We are duplicating lots of functionality in Seam that any JAX RS
implementation has. We should probably drop SeamResourceServlet and maybe
even SeamFilter in Seam3 and rebuild what we need on top of JAX-RS. The
downside is that we'd create a dependency on a JAX-RS implementation. OTOH
almost anyone might want one of these in the future anyway.
Yes, I think we should do this. JAX-RS has such a low footprint and is vital
to the future of Java EE web apps, so like many other specs that we
"recommend highly" I think this should certainly be one of them. We can
always back off and try to abstract an SPI if the community is uneasy about
the direction.
