For any sort of application that is non trivial and non-crud, you'll want CDI to be able to wire things up, possibly some domain specific extensions, etc. maybe there's some special things on data insertion that needs to happen, or something along with permission for data retrieval, or perhaps it's an actual function you call and a way into your application. There's certainly a use for CDI with JAX-RS.

Pete,
I like your quickstart.

A question I have is if a developer is writing a REST based app, does he
need JAX-RS and CDI or just JAX-RS with JPA? I am not clear on the need
for CDI here.

I hope you can elaborate on this question.

Regards,
Anil
