CDI injection not done in base class for jax-rs controller - jax-rs

Question

I'm struggling with CDI and class inheritence.
I've a JAX-RS controller declared as :
#Path("/share")
public class ControllerShare extends BaseController {
#Inject
private ServiceShare serviceShare;
#PostConstruct
private void verifInit() throws ExceptionTechnique {
log.warn("Checking CDI injection");
if (serviceShare == null) {
log.error("serviceAccount not initialized. Check your EJB configuration");
throw new ExceptionTechnique("serviceShare not initialized. Check your EJB configuration.");
}
}
...
}
This controller extends a base controller declared as :
public abstract class BaseController {
private Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ControllerShare.class);
#Context protected HttpServletRequest request;
#Inject private ControlerSession ctrlSession;
public BaseController() {}
#PostConstruct
private void verifInit() throws ExceptionTechnique {
log.warn("Checking CDI injection");
if (ctrlSession == null) {
log.error("controllerSession not initialized. Check your CDI configuration");
throw new ExceptionTechnique("serviceAccount not initialized. Check your CDI configuration.");
}
}
...
}
The problem is that injection is correctly done in ControllerShare (I correctly see "Checking CDI injection"), but is not done in the BaseController class (ctrlSession is null).
I try #Named and others combination without success. Injection is just done in ControllerShare and not in BaseController.
EDIT:
One more thing : curiously the #Context is working fine. My request is set and the value is correct.
Thank's for any explanation and solution.

Actually, this should work according to
http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/spec/1.0/html/inheritance.html
4.2. Inheritance of member-level metadata
Suppose a class X is extended directly or indirectly by the bean class of a managed bean or session bean Y.
If X declares an injected field x then Y inherits x.
On a side note: #PostConstruct however is not inherited if you specify it anew. Therefore, in your sub-class your method must be named differently to have both initializers executed.
If X declares an initializer, non-static observer, #PostConstruct or #PreDestroy method x() then Y inherits x() if and only if neither Y nor any intermediate class that is a subclass of X and a superclass of Y overrides the method x().
