      This is a follow up for the issue RESTEASY-2084.

      The JAX-RS specification states that all providers denoted with @Provider annotation should be registered by the JAX-RS runtime. The ClientRequestFilter and ClientResponseFilter have been covered by RESTEASY-2084. However there are more annotations that should be processed for client instances:

      • MessageBodyReader (constrained to client)
      • MessageBodyWriter (constrained to client)
      • AsyncClientResponseProvider
      • ReaderInterceptor (constrained to client)
      • WriterInterceptor (constrained to client)
      • DynamicFeature (constrained to client)

      These providers should be probably also registered with every new client instance. However according to testing done by mkopecky@redhat.com this is not true even for reference implementation Jersey.

      This is potentially breaking change as RESTEasy currently registers provider that can be restricted to client or server and doesn't *use @ContrainedTo annotation to actually constrain its usage to both client *and server. For now for each new client a new provider factory is created and thus loosing all scanned information (client providers can still be registered by service loader). Proposed change would make @Provider annotation work on all clients (as it is intended by the specification) and so may introduce problem if this behavior is not expected.
