* The resource context provides access to instances of resource classes.

* This interface can be injected using the {@link Context} annotation.
*
* The resource context can be utilized when instances of managed resource
* classes are to be returned by sub-resource locator methods. Such instances
* will be injected and managed within the declared scope just like instances
* of root resource classes.
*
* The resource context can be utilized when matching of URIs are
* required, for example when validating URIs sent in a request entity.
* Note that application functionality may be affected as the matching
* process will result in the construction or sharing of previously constructed
* resource classes that are in scope of the HTTP request, and the invocation of
* matching sub-resource locator methods. No resource methods wll be invoked.
