Remove or explain why web.xml is needed for RESTful endpoints ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-1674 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1674 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Task Components: REST Reporter: Thomas Diesler Assignee: Bill Burke While documenting RESTful endpoints I noticed that {code:xml} <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>javax.ws.rs.core.Application</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> {code} is needed. Is it not possible to use the annotation index to determine whether a *.war contains RESTful endpoints?
