All,
Doesn’t the injection of UriInfo require the same effort as that of XXXParam? That is, some way of proxying to bridge application and request scopes?
In any case, this will add some complexity to the implementations, so I generally agree with Bill that UriInfo should be sufficient (unless we can confirm that this is a very common use case, which is doubtful).

That way, a resource could get injected the @XxxParam instance, then put it into the map, and the MBW could look it up from there. That would be fine, too.
