I agree with you completely, I much prefer explicit registering of my
providers rather than class path scanning. In this way, I can also control
which providers are used within particular contexts.

Just to be clear then, the <jaxrs:providers> stanza holds both providers as
well as well as custom ContextResolvers?
I'm planning on using something like this as a custom ContextResolver:
----------------------------------
import org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory;
@Provider
public class MoxyJaxbContextResolver implements ContextResolver<JAXBContext>
{
public JAXBContext getContext(Class<?> type) {
try {
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContextFactory.createContext(new Class[]
{Animals.class}, null);
return jc
} catch (JAXBException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
----------------------------------
