/**
* 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 {@link Encoded} annotation. A default value
* can be specified using the {@link DefaultValue} annotation.
*
* Note that the {@code @MatrixParam} {@link #value() annotation value} refers to a name of a matrix parameter that
* resides in the last matched path segment of the {@link Path}-annotated Java structure that injects the value of the
* matrix parameter.
*
*
* 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 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.
