Dhanji,
I'm not even sure that we need a registering service in the API. I'm not
sure if it is possible and basically if it makes sense to have an uniform
way to deploy those annotated resources in a container...
If we do so, at least it shouldn't be a mandatory way to deploy JSR311
resources. For example, Spring users would probably like to leverage their
XML wiring service, while for the Restlet API, we could manually attach them
to Routers or deploy them using a custom mechanism.
Best regards,
Jerome
