If I remeber right (!), first the way was to annotate the
javax.ws.rs.ext.ContextResolver with @Context, but than we changed it to
the current way to use javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider. The reasons are not in
my mind now; you have to look in the mailing list archive
(https://jsr311.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectMailingListList, look into
mailing lists dev and users).
This change is the reason for the explicit hint in the code.

Yes, nice ! But unfortunatley I have not much time, because I'm very
busy at work this months. I hope, I will have time in the next weeks.
best regards
