Spring Jersey Contrib

Adding Jersey to a spring webapp

Since jersey has its own servlet that would normally take the REST requests, it's difficult to wire this in with Spring beans. That's where the spring contrib library comes in. Instead of having the WEB-INF/web.xml use the servlet com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer, you can use the below com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet.
