Hi,
Currently, HttpServerRequest provides no way to store additional context.
I think that in most cases this is fine, those that want more fancy facilities can use vertx-web and add context data to the RoutingContext.
However resteasy-vertx works with plain Vert.x HTTP and RoutingContext is not an option.
The thread handling of the Vert.x and Resteasy makes it very difficult to transfer contextual data from one side to the other.
If the HttpServerRequest had any way to store contextual information this would go from being almost impossible to being really easy.
