By default, the agent will scan for @Path annotations on the whole class hierarchy, recognizing a class as a JAX-RS resource if the class or any of its superclasses/interfaces has a class level @Path annotation. If your application does not use @Path annotation inheritance, set this property to false to only scan for direct @Path annotations. This can improve the startup time of the agent.
