I solved my problem, but I think it's most likely a defect in HK2. I had to manually add a qualifier via the HK2 API for this converter. The binding before:
bind(NonPublicInformationParamConverterProvider.class).to(ParamConverterProvider.class).in(Singleton.class);
Binding after:
bind(NonPublicInformationParamConverterProvider.class).to(ParamConverterProvider.class).in(Singleton.class).qualifiedBy(new CustomAnnotationImpl());
I really don't think I should need to manually specify the qualifier when my class is annotated with @Custom. HK2 should take care of that under the covers. Any of the Jersey devs can comment on this and confirm it's an issue with HK2? If so, I'll open a defect with that team.
Thanks,
Eric Miles

Subject: [Jersey] Re: Custom ParamConverterProvider
Silly guess, have you tried the @Provider annotation? That is what I use to register custom providers.

All,
I have created a custom ParamConverterProvider and have annotated it with the @Custom qualifier, which is supposed to be looked at first for parameter conversion. However, when I debug the ParamConverterFactory, I can see my converter is not found with the Providers.getCustomProviders() call, however it returns in the Providers.getProviders() call and is AFTER the default AggregatedProvider…which means my converter is never called at all. Here is my converter definition:
@Custom
@Singleton
public class NonPublicInformationParamConverterProvider implements ParamConverterProvider {
Is this all that needs to be done to identify it's a custom Provider?? When I debug and get down into the weeds of HK2, I can see the SystemDescriptor that wraps this provider identifies that there are no qualifiers for the class.
