The ideal way would be for PageResource to be a component. You could then have a component map directly injected in PageResource using Plexus and you wouldn't need to use the xwiki-core dep on web.Utils which we need to get rif of.
This is a lack of knowledge of mine about plexus... PageResource (and in general every resource) must extend org.restlet.resource.Resource. Is it compatible with the plexus model? I mean there are no interfaces/implementations involved here, we just have classes.
... and I don't know how RESTlet works... :) Who's instantiating PageResource? Is it us or the RESTlet framework? If it's us then it's possible to delegate the instantiation to plexus. What's the lifecycle of PageResource (should there be only 1 instance during the lifetime of the app or several)? BTW it's strange that Resource/Handler are not interfaces. Sounds like a design issue for me. We can overcome this by creating our own interface for them.
Or maybe you are talking about a factory that is injected with all the XWiki parameters and instantiates WikiResources by initializing them with those parameters?
Sorry but I am not very much into plexus yet.
