In ColdFusion 2016, the /api directory is mapped to the CFRestServlet.  If an application already has a custom API solution deployed to the /api directory, it will not work unless the mapping is removed from the web.xml file.  I propose that the ColdFusion administrator be updated to allow this mapping to be disabled through the UI instead of a manual manipulation of the web.xml file.

Alternatively, you could just add the mappings _only_ if the user when installing ColdFusion explicitly chooses to also install the API manager.

Took me a few hours to figure this out. First I thought it was me, then I thought it was IIS, then I thought it was Tomcat... You get it. I have the API manager turned off and I don't use the REST services (no mapping). Can this simply be turned off?

You have my vote as well. Just ran into this issue on a few of my websites when something stopped working in the /api/ directory. Just a blank white page, nothing else. That was a difficult one to figure out.

This actually started with CF11 update 11, it seems. And yep, it causes lots of heartburn.
