Having a root resource class

@Path("person")
public class PeopleResource {

@Path("

{name}

")
public PersonResource findPerson(@PathParam("name") String name)

{ return new PersonResource(name); }

}

and a sub resource class

public class PersonResource {

private String name;

public PersonResource(String name)

{ this.name = name; }

@GET
public String getName()

{ return name; }

@GET
@Path("/address")
public String getClassName()

{ return name + "'s address is unknown."; }

}

The application fails with the following exception. Seems like during scanning the subresource is identified as a root resource (although it is not a root resource). Subsequently, RESTEasy's validation fails.
