Per revision 635:

Polishing the new RESTful interface to the petclinic webapp:

• Eliminated redundant 'clinic' servlet mapping (was: http://localhost:8080/petclinic/clinic/owners; now: http://localhost:8080/petclinic/owners)
• A parameterless GET for /owners now returns the list of all owners, rather than an error.
• /owners/form is now /owners/search (distinguishes the 'search form' resource from the 'edit owner form' resource)
• Eliminated any need for redirects, <welcome-file-list/>, and index.jsp. Deleted all of them.
• Updated /owners/{oid}/edit to submit using PUT instead of POST
• Updated URI for edit pet form from /owners/{oid}/pets/{pid} to /owners/{oid}/pets/{pid}/edit (the edit form is a distinct resource)
• Updated /owners/{oid}/pets/{pid}/edit to submit using PUT instead of POST
