Excellent. I'll do some experimenting with it, but I think it will be the best path forward. Let's see if anyone from Jersey has an opinion too.

In RESTEasy what I've done is just explicitly added @Inject to any member with a @Context and it seems to be working. I'm working through some implementation issues, but nothing too bad yet.

I am not a CDI expert. If it is possible to keep @Context and make it a CDI qualifier without running into a lot of side-effects aka troubles, I would say let's do that. In the end it makes migration easier for users if they CAN switch to @Inject

I am not a CDI expert. If it is possible to keep @Context and make it a CDI qualifier without running into a lot of side-effects aka troubles, I would say let's do that. In the end it makes migration easier for users if they CAN switch to @Inject but are not FORCED to do that. My intention when originally asking to get rid of @Context was that I actually wanted to get rid of the separate injection framework implied. If @Context can stay in the boat while still getting rid of that separate framework, I'm all in.

Hello All,
This week I've been working on integrating Jakarta REST 5.0 CDI integration into RESTEasy. I've found a couple minor issues we'll need to address in the spec. However, I'd first like to talk about @Context. We deprecated that annotation, but now I'm wondering if we should instead make not deprecate it and make it a CDI qualifier. The biggest reason for this would be we do need some kind of a qualifier to inject the `ServletConfig` and `ServletContext`. If we don't have a qualifier, then there is a chance we get the wrong instance injected. Making the `@Context` a CDI qualifier would allow the implementation and user to know they're getting the correct instances injected.

The other two issues are more minor and just documentation changes I hadn't thought about until I fully implemented some things. I'll send up a PR those and for making the @Context a CDI qualifier, but that will be a separate commit in case others disagree. It will make it easier to delete.
