[jax-rs-spec users] [jsr339-experts] Re: Injecting a sub-resource method path parameter into a resource field - legal or not?

We do deal with @DefaultValue the way the spec says, but again, we still
barf if you try to use @PathParam on a field of a singleton. This is
because the code we use to do injection is completely generic and
doesn't care whether its injecting into a setter method, field, or
parameter. The SPI also has a strict contract for injecting into a
singleton vs. a per-request object.
