[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBSEAM-3938) Seam's Resteasy implementation does not support tagged interfaces, nor classes that implement them.

Sean Flanigan commented on JBSEAM-3938:
---------------------------------------

(I'm assuming "tagged interfaces" refers to interfaces which have JAX-RS annotations.)

I ran into a related problem with this set up in Seam 2.3:
{code}
@Path("/accounts")
public interface AccountsResource {
    @GET
    public Response get();
}
@Path("/accounts")
@Name("accountsService")
public class AccountsService implements AccountsResource {
    @Context
    private Request request;

    @GET
    public Response get()
    {
        // use request for something -> NullPointerException
    }
}
{code}

If the bean implements an interface which is annotated @Path, the @Context is not injected.

> Seam's Resteasy implementation does not support tagged interfaces, nor classes that implement them as described in RestEasy's documentation (section 28.2 - Sharing an interface...).  An interface with tagged @Path throws an exception when it is registered - because an interface doesn't have a constructor.
> See org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap Line 112 through 138 for how RestEasy handles this by default - (using Scannotation)
