Symptoms

The context path of RESTful web service using web.xml without Application subclass is created from default "resources" value if it follows the below WebLogic document. That is not expected behavior. Expected behavior is the context path should be based on Servlet Mapping value.

Regarding to how to packaging about the RESTful web service using web.xml without Application subclass has been documented below:
