In which cases Field.getGenericType() would be called (something that JavaDocs refer to) ?

I don't quite understand the purpose of this method then. The JAX-RS spec says that
it's the only portable way to publish the endpoint. Suppose CXF users would like to try the code they're running with CXF
against Jersey and they don't have JAX-WS involved.
There's a CXF specific way to create an endpoint and I thought that they may want to choose instead :
RuntimeDelegate.createEndpoint(new ApplicationConfigImpl(), clazz)...
But I don't quite get what T should we use in CXF. Seems like using JAX-WS Provider is the only portable value of T but only when people would also like to have JAX-WS annotations supported ?
