how to inject Application scope bean on rest web service java

Question

I have to inject initApplicationContext bean on ContextCacheRefresh web service, but unsuccessful, initApplicationContext value always is null. Have anybody any idea haw to deal with it?

@ManagedBean(name = "initApplicationContext", eager = true)
@ApplicationScoped
   public class InitApplicationContext {
             .......................
               }

and web service

  @Path("/serviceContext")
  public class ContextCacheRefresh  {

   @ManagedProperty(value = "#{initApplicationContext}")
    private  InitApplicationContext initApplicationContext;

  @GET
  @Path("/refreshContext")

 public Response refreshUserListOn(@QueryParam("param") String param
  ) { ......

You'll not be able to get JSF to inject resources into a non-JSF context, using @ManagedProperty. Your options are

1. Convert your managed bean to use CDI annotations (@Named to declare the managed bean and @Inject instead of the JSF annotations you're working with now.

2. Just pull the bean from the plain servlet context using the following:

   //inject the servlet context
   @javax.ws.rs.core.Context 
   ServletContext servletContext
   
   public InitApplicationContext getInitContext(){
       return (InitApplicationContext)servletContext.getAttribute("initApplicationContext");
   }

What you're working toward seems a bit dodgy to me. Why is your web application concerned with your RESTful endpoint to begin with?
