MOXy, XmlAdapter, and @Inject [message #1214064]

I'm doing a short spike to determine if we can move our JAX-RS 2.0 application from using Jackson to MOXy. We use some Spring managed beans for customer serializers/deserializers for Jackson and naturally, would like to turn these into XmlAdapters. However, we have a need to @Inject some things into these adapters (which we are doing via some extension points in Jackson). I'm assuming this isn't supported by JAXB so I was hoping there was a way to do it via MOXy, however I can find nothing on it.

Is this possible? Is there a way to @Inject into an XmlAdapter or is there a way to provide an already instantiated XmlAdapter to MOXy for use rather than it "newing up" an instance upon first use?

You can provide a configured instance of an XmlAdapter to MOXy or any JAXB implementation by calling setAdapter(XmlAdapter) on Marshaller/Unmarshaller. Below is a link to an example that should help.

To integrate this into JAX-RS you will need to leverage it through a MessageBodyReader/MessageBodyWriter.
