Description

By default ServletController overrides the endpoint address - historically this was needed to support the correct WSDL and service page generation. This is not needed for the latter any more and I believe is not needed to WSDL gen too. Not needed for RS as well.

With this overriding done by default what happens is that if we have CXFServlet accessed over multiple IP connections or multiple CXFServlets covering the same endpoint we have an issue.

The user can of course can disable this feature - but if it works just fine without the overrides then it is an extra work for a user.
Thus I propose to disable it by default on the trunk only , so that the user re-enables only when really needed, we only need to double check WS code won't be affected
