Hi Jersey cracks
Unfortunately, Spring is calling InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() 
BEFORE Jersey had it's chance to inject @Context fields, like "@Context 
private ResourceContext resourceContext".
Thus, being in afterPropertiesSet(), the resourceContext field is not 
set yet. As you'll see, as temporary workaround I'm currently calling 
TaskDO.init() after creation through ResourceContext.
Is this behaviour by design or, what I hope, can you spot a 
misunderstanding/misconfiguration on my side?
Below you'll find my Environment, Bean, Jersey Resource, web.xml and 
applicationContext.xml
Environment:
=========
* JRE 1.6.0_18-b07
* JDK 1.6.0_17
* Apache Tomcat/6.0.20
* Jersey 1.1.5
* Spring 3.0.0-RELEASE
* Jersey-Spring 1.1.5
Bean implementing InitializingBean:
=======================
@Component @Scope("prototype")
public final class TaskDO implements InitializingBean
{
    private static Logger logger = 
Logger.getLogger(TaskDO.class.getName());
    @Context                 private ResourceContext resourceContext;
    @FormParam("xml") private String                  xml;
   
    private TaskState state;
    @Override public void afterPropertiesSet() {
        int i = 0; // <-- ISSUE: resourceContext is not set yet; same 
goes for xml
    }
    public TaskDO init() throws Exception {
        state = resourceContext.getResource(...); // <-- obviously 
resourceContext is set now, same applies to xml
        return this;
    }
}
Jersey resource instantiating the Bean:
=========================
@Path("/tasks")
@Component @Scope("request")
public class TasksResource
{
    @Context private ResourceContext resourceContext;
    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XHTML_XML)
    public Response createTaskXHtml() throws Exception {
        TaskDO task = resourceContext.getResource(TaskDO.class).init());
        ...
        return ...
    }
}
web.xml
