Not a bug. An empty path is allowed on a root resource class.

Only "/dummy/test" should work. So in that respect there is a bug.

JAX-RS is POJO-based so it is not always necessary to separate out
into an interface and implementation like one would do with say JAX-WS
or RMI. The primary interface you are implementing to is the *HTTP*
interface. So one could scope out what that HTTP interface needs to be
and let the implementor use JAX-RS to implement according their
implementation design.
