----------------------------------
Summary: Define an internal SPI for automatically discovering
components
Key: CXF-7611
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7611
Project: CXF
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JAX-RS
Reporter: John D. Ament
Other JAX-RS runtimes provide an internal SPI for registering components to be
discovered automatically.
For instance, Jersey uses
[AutoDiscoverable|https://github.com/jersey/jersey/blob/master/core-common/src/main/java/org/glassfish/jersey/internal/spi/AutoDiscoverable.java]
(this link may change due to ee4j moves)
and Resteasy will look for {{ServiceLoader}} files that are defined as
{{javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers}} but manually process the entries to load them.
CXF as best as I can tell has no capability like this, and instead relies on
the DI runtimes to register providers. This type of feature may make sense to
have in a future JAX-RS specification update, and I think we should have a
similar mechanism available so that users can register providers in a DI
independent way.
