@Dave, to answer the question without going into much details i would say, the smart team defines here<http://wiki.chip.org/smart-project/index.php/Developers_Documentation:_REST_API>a standard end pattern(excluding the domain name and the web app's root context) which the urls for the different data types should end with and a smart rest API should serve them. You notice these don't conform to our rest ws url pattern. So in the module we just append these to 'contextPath/module/smartcontainer/rest/api which are served by the small non-public rest api that the module provides.
