A bundle project producing JAX-RS RI bundles. The primary artifact is an "all-in-one" OSGi-fied JAX-RS RI bundle (jaxrs-ri.jar). Attached to that are two compressed JAX-RS RI archives. The first archive (jaxrs-ri.zip) consists of binary RI bits and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI libraries (under "lib" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The secondary archive (jaxrs-ri-src.zip) contains buildable JAX-RS RI source bundle and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI sources (under "src" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The second archive also contains "build.xml" ANT script that builds the RI sources. To build the JAX-RS RI simply unzip the archive, cd to the created jaxrs-ri directory and invoke "ant" from the command line.

There is a newer version: 3.1.6

/**
 * Binds the value(s) of a HTTP header to a resource method parameter, resource class field, or resource class bean
 * property. A default value can be specified using the {@link DefaultValue} annotation.
 *
 * The type {@code T} of the annotated parameter, field or property must either:
 * 
 * Be a primitive type
 * Have a constructor that accepts a single {@code String} argument
 * Have a static method named {@code valueOf} or {@code fromString} that accepts a single {@code String} argument
 * (see, for example, {@link Integer#valueOf(String)})
 * Have a registered implementation of {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider} JAX-RS extension SPI that
 * returns a {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter} instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.
 * Be {@code List}, {@code Set} or {@code SortedSet}, where {@code 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 header 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.
