Hi,

I have some jersey subresources that are @RequestScoped.  They need a litlte configuration before they can do their job.

The way I normally like to do this with CDI is to create a factory, something like:

    @ApplicationScoped

    public static class SubResource.Factory {

        @Inject Instance<SubResource> subFactory;

         public SubResource create( String someConfigItem ) {

                SubResource sub = subFactory.get();

                sub.someConfigItem = subConfigItem; /* possible because this factory is nested in SubResource */

                return sub;

            }

       }

However, if I create my subresource this way I don't get @Context injections.  So, as an alternative, I have been doing this instead:

    @Context ResourceContext resourceContext;

    @Path("subResource") public SubResource getSubResource() {

          SubResource sub = resourceContext.getResource( SubResource.class );

          sub.setSomeConfigItem( "value ");

          return sub;

      }

Neither one of these is optimal.  I really don't want to add a setter; I want that configuration to be effectively immutable.  I can implement my own "set once" in the setter, but that's also a little messy.  What I really want is a way to say: "Within this request scope, when an object tries to @Inject something called X, here is what you should give it" in a programmatic way.

Is this possible?
