This isn’t true anymore. I fixed this in the beta-9 release. The only thing we don’t support is manually roled proxies, i.e. ProxyFactory

@Ophir: SpringContextLoaderListener scans for beans that have JAX-RS annotations, and scans the Class for @Path/@GET/etc. methods, and keeps the beanName. At run time, we perform a getBean on the beanName and delegate to whatever bean gets returned, be it the original bean or a proxied bean.

Note: RESTEasy doesn’t do any proxying itself; rather it supports any proxied beans, such as any beans with @Transactional annotations, or otherwise AoP’ed beans.

The biggest issue with all of this is the nature of proxying: Spring either use Java Proxy, which proxies interfaces, or CGLib that proxies the class. If you’re using interfaces, you basically have to put all of your JAX-RS annotations on the interface rather than the class itself.

Oh, I see SpringContextLoaderListener was moved to the resteasy-spring module.
I’d still like to know more about the autoproxied Spring beans

Can you please elaborate on the new Spring support?

The documentation for version 1.0-beta-9 still mentions SpringContextLoaderListener which is no longer found in the new release:

Thank you,
