Hi,
I was able to get around this problem by defining a BaseRESTServlet and all
my servlets extend from it and defining the method in the BaseRESTServlet
with the @Path("/{id}/descriptor").
That solves this problem for me.
However i was wondering how do i get the value of the path before the
"{id}/descriptor".
Here's the details.
FooRESTServlet has @Path("/foo")
BarRESTServlet has @Path("/bar")
Both extend BaseRESTServlet which has a method defined as
@GET
@Path("/{id}/descriptor")
public String getDescriptor(@PathParam("id") long id) {
logger.info("descriptor(): " + id);
return StringUtils.EMPTY;
}
Now, both uri pattern /foo/1/descriptor and /bar/1/descriptor will come to
this method. and i will get the value of 1 as Id in both cases.
But i also want to get of "foo" or "bar", (because this method is defined in
the base class).
I could parse the URL and find out, but i am hoping there is a better way.
Regards,
Rahul
