I'd like to add a custom resourceComparator for use with my DOSGi JAX-RS /CXF service

annotations-based, declarative services.  Is it possible to register a custom 
ResourceComparator in a similar fashion to how we register custom mappers and filters, 
e.g. through annotations along the lines of,   @Property(name = 
"org.apache.cxf.rs.provider", classValue = { FooMapper.class, BarFilter.class } 
?
I can find examples of how to set a custom resource comparator via the web 
descriptor or Spring config but I haven't found a reference to similar in the 
cxf DOSGi documentation.  Pages that list available properties, like 
http://cxf.apache.org/distributed-osgi-reference.html, don't mention it. Is 
that because it's not possible via this approach?

Any pointers, much appreciated.


Custom ResourceComparator is registered using an 
"org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.comparator" contextual property,

I've just checked CXF DOSGi source, one can set RS properties as a map, 
using "org.apache.cxf.rs.context.properties".
