That subject isn't worded quite right, but hopefully I can clear that up. I started out with a small handful of resource classes, each of which points to a separate portion of my domain classes. I realized that there are some HTTP headers that I'd like to get automatically, without specifying them explicitly in each method. I realized I could just define an instance variable in the resource class and then put the "@HeaderParam annotation on the field. That works fine. However, what I'd really like to do is have a base class that all the resource classes extend, which has the annotated instance variable. All I did was "pull up" the instance variable and the getter/setter to a base class and retested that, and I found that the instance variable was not set.
Is there something I have to do to get CXF to look at the base class for CXF annotations, or is this a scenario that isn't possible yet?
