IIUC, such behavior goes beyond the spec. But I still fail to understand how the scanning relates to the default
mapping. Reading JAX-RS 1.1 it seems that a user has to provide an explicit mapping, otherwise the app would fail to deploy.
Now the proposal is to create a default value for this explicit mapping that had to exist in every JAX-RS 1.x application.
