Amgular's controllers uses the Aerogear generated DataService JS file
(which contains/defines  the pipes/datastore)

Right, the "ag controller" scaffolding branch scaffolds a Controller Route
and "by pass" the JAX-RS endpoints generated by the REST forge plugin.

It's AG Controller magic, just drop the jar and defines a route, any
matches will use the Route defined in the controller.

* Show the basic use of the Controller / Promote our own stuff
* IMO Controller has a fluent API which make it really a breeze to define
REST endpoints,
* When Security scaffold will be released (soon ! soon!) ,it will be easy
to integrate into the Routes and again show the power of the controller.
* In the future, show how we can easily connect to other services (Dan's
Camel samples)
