CDI Injection giving different instances across request - jax-rs

Question

I am attempting to use CDI injection across a JAX-RS rest request. Specifically, I have a ContainerReqeustFilter, the rest end point class and a ContainerResponseFilter. In the ContainerReqeustFilter I have a simple bean injection:
public class BeanTest {
private String content;
public String getContent() { return content; }
public void setContent(String value) { content = value; }
}
And in my ContainerRequestFilter:
#Inject BeanTest beanTest;
And in my ContainerResponseFilter I also have:
#Inject BeanTest beanTest;
However I am getting two different instances of the BeanTest bean rather than the same one which I expected. Why is this? I expected the same BeanTest instance to be reused across the request.
I've also tried the following in one class:
#Inject BeanTest beanTest;
#Inject BeanTest beanTest2;
Again, beanTest and beanTest2 are different instances.
Finally, I've also tried:
#Inject #RequestScoped BeanTest beanTest;
and
#Inject #SessionScoped BeanTest beanTest;
Neither of which changed any noticeable behavior. My ultimate goal is a reusable bean across the classes invoked during a rest service call.

I do not see any annotation on BeanTest, meaning, if you are using bean-discovery-mode=all, such beans are considered by default to be in Dependent scope. That implies that their lifecycle is tired to the bean in which they are injected, and a different bean instance is injected in every different bean it is used.
Use the correct scope (if you need application wide bean, ApplicationScope, etc)
