Acknowledged. In the REST services I've built so far, the REST
interface itself is defined pretty early, and hasn't changed much.

I don't understand what you mean here. Are you saying that I could
leave out the "serviceBeans" section in my "jaxrs:server" element, and
component scanning will automatically find my service bean components?

I don't want to go that far. I like specifying the root server address
in XML, and I have some providers that I want to specify here.
