    Description

      SCENARIO:
      Let's have an application that uses just resteasy-client (not server!)

      EXPECTED:
      None of its dependencies should declare @WebServlet

      ACTUALLY:
      resteasy-jaxrs declares (since 3.0.20.Final) org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServlet30Dispatcher as a @WebServlet

      Why is it a problem?
      a) Because this global servlet conflicts with some frameworks e.g. Spring MVC
      b) it's unexpected that applying a CLIENT library causes registration of SERVLET which is by it nature server-side.

      See also https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1748

      A partial workaround exists:
      metadata-complete="true" in web.xml
      (but it may influence a lot of other technologies)
