Binds the value(s) of a URI matrix parameter to a resource method parameter, resource class field, or resource class bean property. Values are URL decoded unless this is disabled using the Encoded annotation. A default value can be specified using the DefaultValue annotation.

Note that the @MatrixParam annotation value refers to a name of a matrix parameter that resides in the last matched path segment of the Path-annotated Java structure that injects the value of the matrix parameter.

The type T of the annotated parameter, field or property must either:

1. Be a primitive type
2. Have a constructor that accepts a single String argument
3. Have a static method named valueOf or fromString that accepts a single String argument (see, for example, Integer#valueOf(String))
4. Have a registered implementation of jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider JAX-RS extension SPI that returns a jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.
5. Be List<T>, Set<T>, SortedSet<T> or T[] array, where T satisfies 2, 3 or 4 above. The resulting collection is read-only.

If the type is not one of the collection types listed in 5 above and the matrix parameter is represented by multiple values then the first value (lexically) of the parameter is used.

Because injection occurs at object creation time, use of this annotation on resource class fields and bean properties is only supported for the default per-request resource class lifecycle. Resource classes using other lifecycles should only use this annotation on resource method parameters.
