Hi Kim,

For versioning REST API, I'm not sure of a definitive best route to get
there. A while back, for a Ruby on Rails project, one way we made a
/rest/v1 and a /rest/v2 versions of that REST API, was just make a
subfolder "v1" and "v2", copy and paste our entire v1 code into v2, and
then never touch v1 code again, and update the v2 code to become different.
I'd imagine jaxrs has some other graceful routes to accomplish this, but
the subfolder route is easy-ish to support and understand.

But yes. Its growing through evolution. Rather than intelligent design. ;)
