Resteasy integration ?

[vietj]

Resteasy provides a Vert.x web server implementation since Resteasy 3.1.

Would it make sense to provide an integration as a vertx-weld module to allow to combine that with service proxies and such ?

Actually I believe it would be a good thing to do and provide a good basis for writing web app with Weld / Vert.x and JaxRS . cc @emmanuelbernard

@vietj FYI I've been able to modify the HelloWorldService example resource to @Inject a CDI bean. The problem is that the CDI request context is not activate when VertxRequestHandler delegates to org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.vertx.RequestDispatcher. And so @RequestScoped resources (default) do not work. It would be great if we could wrap/intercept the body handler set by VertxRequestHandler.

Steps to reproduce:

• add org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-cdi and org.jboss.weld.vertx:weld-vertx-core on the class path
• deploy WeldVerticle before the verticle starting VertxResteasyDeployment
• set CDI injection factory before the VertxResteasyDeployment is started, i.e. deployment.setInjectorFactoryClass("org.jboss.resteasy.cdi.CdiInjectorFactory")

I will create a branch of vertx-examples so that we can play with code.

Another reason for integrating with RESTEasy is that it would allow the use of Enunciate's documentation generation for JAX-RS-annotated REST interfaces.
