Use regular expression mappings
4.1. @Path and regular expression mappings The @Path annotation is not limited to simple path expressions. You also have the ability to insert regular expressions into @Path's value. For example: @Path("/resources) public class MyResource { @GET @Path("{var:.*}/stuff") public String get() {...} } The following GETs will route to the getResource() method: GET /resources/stuff GET /resources/foo/stuff GET /resources/on/and/on/stuff The format of the expression is: "{" variable-name [ ":" regular-expression ] "}" The regular-expression part is optional. When the expression is not provided, it defaults to a wildcard matching of one particular segment. In regular-expression terms, the expression defaults to "([]*)" For example: @Path("/resources/{var}/stuff") will match these: GET /resources/foo/stuff GET /resources/bar/stuff but will not match: GET /resources/a/bunch/of/stuff
