ServletContext in an inherited class

[Tom]

I have copied the code from the CXF manual to get access to the 
ServletContext of either the SOAP or REST call and it works ok. However, 
I naturally have more that one Service to implement, so I wanted to move 
this code to an abstract parent class. When the code is there, only the 
SOAP resource is injected, the REST variable is NULL.

Is there any reason why REST does not work in an inherited class?

   // Get the ServletContext for SOAP and REST
   @javax.annotation.Resource private javax.xml.ws.WebServiceContext 
iSoapWebServiceContext;
   @javax.ws.rs.core.Context private javax.servlet.ServletContext 
iServletContext;
 
   private ServletContext getServletContext()
   throws javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException
   {
       if (iSoapWebServiceContext != null)
       {
           // soap invocation
           return 
(ServletContext)iSoapWebServiceContext.getMessageContext().get(javax.xml.ws.handler.MessageContext.SERVLET_CONTEXT);
       }
       else
       {
           // http-only jaxrs one
           return 
iServletContext;//(ServletContext)iRestMessageContext.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_CONTEXT);
       } 
   }
