A curl invocation curl -i http://localhost:[PORT]/subresource-cdi-di/resources/root/sub returns: "sub".

The JAX-RS 2.1 spec states in 11.2.3 Context and Dependency Injection (CDI):

"In a product that supports CDI, implementations MUST support the use of CDI-style Beans as root resource classes, providers and Application subclasses.(...)"

Therefore the beviour of TomEE 8 (microprofile-8.0.0-M1) is correct by throwing:

java.lang.NullPointerException
