Thank GOODNESS. I thought I was going crazy. (Friends would say I already
have.)

I am not sure what all the bugs are. I will say that I followed the publishing
guidelines in the JAX-RS specification to the letter. The only "gray area" that
I know of involves packaging resource classes in the lib directory, which
appears to be permitted by the specifications, but does not work here.

I should also mention that if I simply move the resource classes back into
WEB-INF/lib--and leave everything else as-is--then everything works with the
@ManagedBean approach.

Will you, Paul, file the requisite bugs? I'd like to get these addressed
quickly, as for JAX-RS there really isn't a good alternative (the poor RestEasy
guys REALLY don't have deployment figured out yet), and I don't exactly know
what all the bugs are.

Thanks again for your time and investigations.

Best, Laird [Message sent by forum member 'ljnelson']
