I have tried to use Spring 4.0 with the j

Answer 1

I have started using Jersey 2.7 and Spring 4.0.x recently in a project. I have setup a context hierarchy to inject beans, so far, I have discovered only one limitiation but that does not seem relate to Spring 4 but rather to the module itself or the HK2 Spring Bridge.

To give more insight about my use. I have a XJC/JAXB-backed which is consumed by a common service, repository and exposed through JAX-WS, and now hopefully through JAX-RS.

The multi-context stuff works now with @Autowiredwith 2.8-SNAPSHOT. I have applied my changes and the 2.8-SNAPSHOT to 2.7. Here is the diff.

Edit (Michael-O; 2014-10-17): Here is a modified Spring module based off 2.11 with multi-context support.
