I get it now, there is no way of doing this. It's called Context and
Dependency Injection for a reason, because the framework using CDI should
have the context of each object instance, in which case it will know how to
provide injections from a factory, based on the context.
@Context HttpServletRequest request in the case of JAX-RS simply means
inject the current servlet request, the framework knows the context, so
it's able to do that.
Am I on the right track here?
