ServletContext should be injected

[testn]

It looks like currently ServletContext is not injected. It would be nice to have it injected so that it can access ServletContext.getAttribute/setAttribute as a caching mechanism.

The issue when using vertx-jersey is you are not running inside a web container so there is not a ServletContext to inject. The vert.x HttpServerRequest/HttpServerResponse does not implement ServletRequest/ServletResponse.

However there is nothing stopping you from implementing your own ServletContext and binding it for injection as a singleton to use for getAttribute()/setAttribute().

However, if all you want is getAttribute()/setAttribute(), then consider using vert.x's shared data:

@testn any further discussion on this topic?

I think it's sometimes important to have at least a fake implementation of ServletContext. A good example is swagger. Swagger uses ServletContext to cache the swagger definition without making the resource to be a singleton.
