@Path and regular expression (Jersey/REST)

Question

I'm using Jersey in a REST project and I'm needing to use regular expression. Digging about it is simple like: ``` @Path("/resources") public class MyResource { @GET @Path("{subResources:.*}") public String get(@PathParam("subResources") String subResources) {...} } ``` But, doing like this, the method is getting the request only if I passes 1 param, example: GET: .../resources/firstSubResource If I use more then 1 parameter the method is not getting the request, example: GET: .../resources/firstSubResource/seccondSubResource/thirdSubResource I'm only capable of using regex if in my @Path contains a variable or text value, example: ``` @Path("{SubResource1}/{subResources:.*}") ``` Or ``` @Path("/hardCodeString/{subResources:.*}") ``` Today I could run with this solution of a variable, but is not oK for my perspective. My web.xml ``` (...)

Can you try using regular expression as given in Overview of JAX-RS 1.1

Code snippet would look as below for your case

```
@Path("resources/")
public class MyResource {

@GET
   @Path("{subResources: [a-zA-Z0-9_/]+}")
   public String get(@PathParam("subResources") String subResources) {...}
}
```

Hope that helps.
