How to use Jersey 2 with Spring IoC container

Jersey 2.3 has now spring support:

https://jersey.github.io/documentation/latest/user-guide.html#spring

As stated in the documentation

The Spring extension module configuration is based on annotations

So you have to tell spring to scan your classpath, for example:

<context:component-scan base-package="my.package.to.resources">

and annotate your resource class with a spring annotation (I advise to use @Component, and then specify the jersey resource scopes @Singleton/@PerLookup/@RequestScoped )

@Component@Singleton@Path("example")public class Example {    //Spring beans can't be injected directly into JAX-RS classes by using Spring XML configuration    @Autowired    private MyOtherBean myOtherBean;    @GET @Path("hello")    public String hello() {        return myOtherBean.hello();    }}

As of June 2013, Jersey 2.0 has no official Spring support. There are two options:

1. Use third party code from here https://github.com/marko-asplund/jersey/tree/master/ext/jersey-spring
2. Wait until HK2 spring bridge becomes stable and documented https://java.net/jira/browse/HK2-40

EDIT: Jersey 2.3 has spring support now, see the answer by Fabio below

You should be able to annotate jersey components and then use annotations to inject the beans.

@Service //(or @Component)public class MyJerseyService {    @Autowired    private MyObj mySpringBean}
