Hi,

I'm trying to inject RestEasy client interfaces as Seam components. While it's pretty straightforward with @Unwrap pattern, using IoCComponent approach appears to be a bit tricky.

I can instantiate the bean using resteasy ProxyFactory and inject it into Application context, but for now I have to pass Object.class and thus Component.getInstance(Class c) call is not available.

This is my interface:

@ResteasyClient(seamName="basicClient1")
public interface BasicClient {

     @POST
     @Path("search/ClientSearchService.svc/GetAllBy")
     @Produces("application/json")
     @Consumes("application/json")
     List<Customer> getAllBy(String data);

}

This is component wrapper from Seam-IOC:

@Name("org.jboss.seam.resteasyclient.bootstrap")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
@AutoCreate
@Install(precedence = BUILT_IN, classDependencies = "org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory")
public class ResteasyClientBootstrap {

     @Create
     public void init() {

// blah-blah-blah class scanning and initialisation skipped

            Contexts.getApplicationContext().set(
               componentName + Initialization.COMPONENT_SUFFIX,
*               new RestEasyClientComponent(Object.class, // GOTCHA!*
                 componentName, ScopeType.STATELESS, beanClass));
           }

}

And RestEasyClientComponent looks like this:

public class RestEasyClientComponent extends IoCComponent {

     private Class interfaceClass;

     public RestEasyClientComponent(Class clazz, String name, ScopeType scope, Class interfaceClass) {
          super(clazz, name, scope);
          this.interfaceClass = interfaceClass;
     }

     @Override
     protected Object instantiateIoCBean() throws Exception {
          return ProxyFactory.create(interfaceClass, "http://localhost/rest/");
     }

     @Override
     protected String getIoCName() {
          return null;
     }

}
