I just have done this. However, we have to be aware that this asumes,
that users already use spring and then add a jersey annotation to expose
this bean as a resource. If a user starts with jersey and doesn't supply
a jersey lifecycle annotation (so that the jersey default lifecycle is
used) and then/afterwards also uses spring, perhaps he would expect that
the jersey default lifecycle would be used.

What do you think?

However, the changes mentioned above are in the trunk now.
