public Interface ContextResolver<T>

Type Parameters
<T>
type of the context
Contract for a provider that supplies context information to resource classes and other providers. A ContextResolver implementation may be annotated with javax.ws.rs.Produces to restrict the media types for which it will be considered suitable.

Providers implementing ContextResolver contract must be either programmatically registered in a JAX-RS runtime or must be annotated with @Provider annotation to be automatically discovered by the JAX-RS runtime during a provider scanning phase.
