I'm presuming we are talking about the 2nd endpoint ?
No, as I said in the previous email, it is the custom resource
provider which will do it.

I agree it does not. Customer root resource will be instantiated by
your custom resource provider
and will return its own hardcoded state...

Please take a break :-). Check the CXF JAX-RS docs about subresources
too, it's very simple, you'll do it in few mins after you get a break.
I guess I could've just typed the code right here but it's about you
managing this GSOC project and you've progressed a lot so I'll just
let you do it :-). If you prefer you could start focusing on EJB
integration right now, but I think that without feeling how JAX-RS
works you'll just find it difficult to get the integration working

A hint:
Just have two methods: one is subresource locator, another one is the
final resource method which will return the state. Subresurce locator
effectively delegates to the final resource method. You'll be
surprised how easy it is but I do appreciate it can be tricky without
having a prior experience
Same for CustomeService: have some basic map/list of Customers, few
resource methods, etc. It's not about writing a quality
CustomerService - it's about you moving to the next stage with the
full confidence
