/**
* Outbound Server-Sent Events stream.
*
* The instance of {@link SseEventSink} can be only acquired by injection of a resource method parameter:
*
* @GET
* @Path("eventStream")
* @Produces(MediaType.SERVER_SENT_EVENTS)
* public void eventStream(@Context SseEventSink eventSink) {
* // ...
* }
*
* The injected instance is then considered as a return type, so the resource method doesn't return anything,
* similarly as in server-side async processing.
*
* The underlying client connection is kept open and the application code
* is able to send events. A server-side instance implementing the interface
* corresponds exactly to a single client HTTP connection.
*
* The injected instance is thread safe.
