I need one other thing, maybe you have that as an API already:

When a request hits the SeamResourceServlet, the mapped path  
(configurable in Seam though) is:

/seam/resource/rest/<whatever>

Unfortunately, that means you have to use this in your resources:

@Path("/seam/resource/rest/catalog/item/123")

It would be much nicer if users could skip the /seam/resource/rest  
part of the path. I could use HttpServletRequestWrapper before passing  
the call to dispatcher.invoke() and override all methods that return  
the path. It would be much better if we could tell RESTEasy to map  
@Path with a customizable base.
