JAX-RS adding bean ID in context throws null pointer

[hanasaki jiji <ha...@gmail.com>]

Deployment is a WAR file.  For some reason the context is throwing a
null pointer when the restful resource bean is setup with an ID.  Any
ideas why and resolution?    The only thing that comes to mind is that
the Impl class is not found in the classpath however it has been
validated to exist under
WEB-INF/classes/com/service/impl/ServiceUserManagerImplRS  Setting the
class impl to a class name that is known not to exist does correctly
throw "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException" instead of a NPE.

Thank you.

web.xml loads the context
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            /WEB-INF/SpringCore/applicationContext.xml

This file contains:
    <import resource="classpath:/SpringApplications/**/applicationContext.xml"
/>
    <import resource="classpath:/SpringApplications/**/*ApplicationContext.xml"
/>
    <import resource="classpath:/SpringApplications/*/*Bean.xml" />

The WAR has a WEB-INF/classes/SpringApplications/cxf/application.xml
which is read from the above during the scan.

The below error is thrown from when the bean ID is attempted to be
setup / instantiated
