[resteasy-dev] CDI stereotype usage in JAX-RS annotated methods

[Martin Stefanko]

Hi all,

in my issue [1] I am facing a decision whether to include CDI stereotype
usage also in JAX-RS annotated methods. The problem is that to allow
stereotypes to be picked up by CDI they need to be placed on the producer
method or field [2] which means they need to be annotated by
*javax.enterprise.inject.Produces* annotation. This annotation already
clashes with JAX-RS *javax.ws.rs.Produces *and additionally impose problems
(ambiguous injection) when several methods with the same return type would
use stereotypes (I've created simple example at [3]). This is why I want to
ask for the community opinion whether or not should RestEasy support
stereotypes on JAX-RS methods.
