I do not separate technical and User APIS, instead use JAX-RS for both.

Details in http://jalg.net/2012/10/jax-rs-2-0-mvc/

I saw RESTeasy having pretty sophisticated integration of JAX-RS, CDI and templating and with JAX-RS 2.0 that should not be too hard to build on your own to avoid being dependent on a proprietary JAX-RS extension.

How you could do that with the new filter API I explain in the blog. What's left would be to make the managed beans available in the template engine context (e.g. subclass VelocityContext and make it access the BeanManager - though I only have vague CDI knowledge there).
