Important Things to Keep in mind:

1. org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap Listener should be registered before any other listener.
2. You should configure resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix @lt;context-param> if the HttpServletDispatcher servlet url-pattern is anything other than /*
3. You should register REST Resource as Spring bean by annotating with @Component or @Service.
