Description

I would like to use CXF support for search http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs-search.html and for that I need to register a provider. In my tests the SearchContext is always null and I think it is caused by https://github.com/apache/cxf-dosgi/blob/master/provider-rs/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/dosgi/dsw/handlers/rest/RsProvider.java

where

RsProvider.java

....

private boolean isProvider(Object intent) {
        return (intent instanceof ExceptionMapper) // 
            || (intent instanceof MessageBodyReader) //
            || (intent instanceof MessageBodyWriter) //
            || (intent instanceof ContextResolver);
    }

....

only supports ContextResolver and not ContextProvider

I'm going to try to make a workaround with a features but this is needed in order to make this work.

Quoting CXF documentation:

"Additionally, starting from CXF 2.6.0, SearchContextProvider needs to be registered as jaxrs:provider."
