Thank GOODNESS. I thought I was going crazy. (Friends would say I already have.)
I am not sure what all the bugs are. I will say that I followed the publishing guidelines in the JAX-RS specification to the letter. The only "gray area" that I know of involves packaging resource classes in the lib directory, which appears to be permitted by the specifications, but does not work here.
I should also mention that if I simply move the resource classes back into WEB-INF/lib--and leave everything else as-is--then everything works with the @ManagedBean approach.
Will you, Paul, file the requisite bugs? I'd like to get these addressed quickly, as for JAX-RS there really isn't a good alternative (the poor RestEasy guys REALLY don't have deployment figured out yet), and I don't exactly know what all the bugs are.
Thanks again for your time and investigations.
Best,
Laird
