Not able to create custom ResourceMethodDispatcherProvider in jersey >= 2.26

I have a code that used to work till jersey < 2.26 (before removal of hard wiring with HK2).
We were able to create a **CustomResourceMethodDispatcherProvider** (implements **ResourceMethodDispatcher.Provider**) and bind it via custom **ResourceConfig** and all rest calls would be dispatched by our own own dispatcher.

But this doesn't seem to work anymore. Tried a couple of options
1. Changed the **AbstractBinder** import to jersey one,
2. register a custom Feature, also tried registering custom provider via **Feature** but it didn't let me since it was trying to replace an internal class
3. experiment with Provider annotation and web.xml.
4. Extend **RequestMethodDispatcherFactory** and bind it.

None of the these worked. Upon code inspection, it looks like **ApplicationHandler.java** constructs **ResourceMethodInvoker** with internal class **RequestMethodDispatcherFactory**. And this Factory class instantiates only 2 internal providers (**VoidVoidDispatcherProvider** and **JavaResourceMethodDispatcherProvider**).

Is there a way to associate my custom ResourceMethodDispatcher and its Provider in jersey >= 2.26 ?

Start by reading ApplicationHandler.java, ResourceMethodInvoker, and RequestMethodDispatcherFactory, then compare the pre-2.26 dispatch and binding path described in the issue. Done means establishing whether a supported registration path exists for a custom ResourceMethodDispatcher.Provider in Jersey 2.26 or later, with the relevant limitation or usage documented.
