We can supply an implementation of an InjectableProvider that reuses
the Autowired annotation. That implementation can be equivalent to
that of our own @Inject annotation. So for Spring 2.5.x users they do
not require a Jersey specific annotation.
I also think we may be able to support better life-cycle integration
by enabling the SpringServlet to declare the life-cycle choosing
factory mechanism. Thus when using @Component there may be no need to
duplicate Jersey life-cycle declarations. I think this may be
possible by declaring a default life-cycle when a Jersey life-cycle
annotation is absent, looks at the spring annotations on the class,
and defers to the appropriate Jersey life-cycle.
