Errr...no, not without reading the spec, but I asked the CDI 1.1 spec lead.

1st. I just really can't support getResource(). If users don't want to
use the full capabilities of Java EE, IMO, they are on their own.
JAX-RS should not be in the dependency injection abstraction business.
For most uses of resource locators, EJB, CDI, Spring, or Guice injection
works fine. For more complex cases CDI Bean Manager or a Spring bean
factory will work. Also, regular java *constructors* work pretty well
too! And there is always parameter injection of jAX-RS data instead of
field injection.
2nd. I just don't think match() is appropriate and you haven't shown me
a usecase where it is. This is because I think users are more
interested in *routing* requests, not the actual match itself.
3rd. You haven't shown me a use case that couldn't be supported with
existing JAX-RS 1.1 and its integration with Java EE, EJB, and CDI.
4th JAX-RS should not be involved in the IoC/DI business.
5th Sergey and others PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS!
