[seam-dev] Seam RESTEasy renamed to Seam REST

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Yes, exactly! Though I suppose if they are using RestEasy they will have
this functionality by default, as you suggest. I wasn't thinking clearly
when I wrote this, however. You are very correct. If RestEasy is already on
the classpath, it should probably provide injection for web-service
endpoints (via @Qualifer) annotations.

@Inject @RestEndpoint
private Endpoint<DataService> endpoint;

The endpoint could then provide access to things like the HttpClient, the
Request object, methods to invoke:

endpoint.sendRequest();
endpoint.getResponse();

And would take care of the bootstrap / typing / (un)marshalling, etc...

Pretty much a super-quick way of specifying a web-service endpoint and
invoking it via RestEasy Client Framework (under the covers of course)
If there's an easier way, then this wouldn't be needed, but that's my
thought!
