Now that I have my example code committed, you can see what I was  
trying to do. Right now, the annotation code is commented out, but  
have a look at the Contact entity in the ejb project. Ideally, what I  
want to be able to do is have the ContactServiceBean return an a  
Contact instance (which it does) and form there, the JAX-RS  
annotations are read off of the entity. This way, I can easily  
navigate to:

http://localhost:8080/addressbook/contacts/1/emailAddresses/3

And from there, I could view the EmailAddress entity with ID 3. Right  
now, this doesn't work as expected and a 404 is returned.
