RESTEasy Spring Integration

RESTEasy integrates with Spring 2.5. We are interested in other forms of Spring integration, so please help contribute.

RESTeasy comes with its own Spring ContextLoaderListener that registers a RESTeasy specific BeanPostProcessor that processes JAX-RS annotations when a bean is created by a BeanFactory?. What does this mean? RESTeasy will automatically scan for @Provider and JAX-RS resource annotations on your bean class and register them as JAX-RS resources.

The SpringContextLoaderListener? must be declared after ResteasyBootstrap? as it uses ServletContext? attributes initialized by it.

If you do not use a Spring ContextLoaderListener? to create your bean factories, then you can manually register the RESTeasy BeanPostProcessor? by allocating an instance of org.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.SpringBeanProcessor?. You can obtain instances of a ResteasyProviderFactory? and Registry from the ServletContext? attributes org.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory? and org.resteasy.spi.Registry. (Really the string FQN of these classes)
