Using Jersey 2.17, I'm facing exactly the same situation as described in
this (resolved, fixed) bug:
https://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-2299
No matter what I try, Factory.dispose(...) is not called.
I'm using workaround as described at
http://stackoverflow.com/a/20200538
(@Inject-ing CloseableService and registering my own Closeable), but it
seems that Factory.dispose should be much cleaner way to do it, if it worked
correctly.
