Hi Chathuri, Yep totally understood that's the same way CXF works as long as you use the standard JSR-311 JAXRS annotations. You can simply do a drop in jar replacement and you're good to go.
The big difference between Jersey and CXF is that using CXF is eating the ASF's own "dog food" and promoting our own products, which is a good thing. Jersey isn't an ASF product and I'm always a fan of trying to find an ASF produced dependency first.
