Trying to inject cdi in jax-rs provider

Question

I am having an issue with wildfly 10 when trying to get a custom Transformer bean that will perform the incoming data into the form I need. I declare custom @Provider

@Provider
@Dependent
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class BaseProvider<T extends Base> implements MessageBodyReader<T>, MessageBodyWriter<T> {

   @Inject
   private ModelTransformer<T, String> modelTransformer;

...

This is the provider. In wildfly I have to specify @Dependent because the class is parametrized (Generics), but in glassfish 4 for e.g. I don't have to do that.

The problem is that the modelTransformer is null. I don't get any deployment issues, but I get NullPointerException in runtime.

This is the ModelTransformer implementation that I am expecting to be injected.

@Dependent
public class GsonModelTransformerImpl<T extends Base> implements ModelTransformer<T, String> {
    private Gson gson;

    ...// Specific impl of the interface that uses gson to do some stuff

I can't understand what I am doing wrong, but this code works on glassfish 4, and cannot get it working on wildfly 10.

I can give more details, maybe I missed something...

Thanks!
