---------------------------------------

Hi Andriy, 
I guess we need to have the container provided ApplicationPath, Path and Provider annotated classes. If an ApplicationPath class is available then we can simply ignore Path and Provider annotated classes because ApplicationPath points to Application which will set up everything. If ApplicationPath class is not available then we'd create a new Application instance from those Path and Provider classes. 
What is not clear to me yet is how to register CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlet - I think we can register it as as a servlet filter against with the provided ServletContext. 

The other thing that I'm not sure about is whether the code implementing JAX-RS ServletContextInitializer should be shipped in a sep module or not. The possible issue here is that if we ship it statically with the JAX-RS frontend then it might cause side-effects in cases where people do provide web.xml with CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlet declared, so we might have a double registration if a container also supports ServletContextInitializer. I guess, as POC, it can be added to 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT rt/frontend/jaxrs first just to make thing simpler, but then we'd need to make the final decision before 3.1.0 gets out, which is still some time away...

Thanks

> This will offer an advanced support for the auto-discovery of JAX-RS Application, root resources and providers in OSGI in combination with pax-web-jetty.
