I can hardly find any documentation for SpringServlet in the Jersey
project. :( It's likely that the SpringServlet doesn't respect the
<welcome-file> entries in web.xml because accessing that information is
not part of the servlet API. That isn't to say that the developers
didn't parse web.xml themselves, but I doubt they did that: they would
expect you to map only the appropriate URI patterns to SpringServlet.

The examples I see are always of the form:

<url-pattern>/something/*</url-pattern>

...which suggests to me that the REST portion of your webapp might be
expected to be segregated from the rest of the webapp by a particular
URL prefix. I think that's rather a good idea because then you know that
all requests to /something/* will always be handled as REST calls and
those outside of that pattern will be non-REST requests.

Hope that helps,
