  LPS-17278	Rename REST functionality to JSONWebService
  LPS-19137	Add JSONWebServices annotations from service builder
  LPS-14595	Allow portal jsps to be overloaded by theme templates

What is going on: we have 3 overloaded get-user-places methods. This is their sorted order:

1. GroupServiceUtil#getUserPlaces()
2. GroupServiceUtil#getUserPlaces(classNames, max)
3. GroupServiceUtil#getUserPlaces(userId, classNames, max)

when /group/get-user-places is invoked (no extra params) we aim for the first method (1), with zero arguments.

However, due to smart method arguments providing functionality, we have 'userId' set as well - this one comes from logged user. So JSONWebServiceActionsManagerImpl chooses method (3) over (1), since the most method arguments are matched.
