How about you make your class respond to @Path("/scm/v{ver}\\d/invoices")
so your class responds regardless of what digit you use for the version,
and inject the version number as an @PathParam

> Subject: [Jersey] Two endpoints with a common URI prefix
> I have two business objects that I'd like to create using a POST to two
> different RESTful endpoints.
> One is an invoice and the other a purchase order so I have two classes:
> InvoiceResource and POResource.
>
> They both have a common prefix for the @Path of /scm and I'm versioning
> the API.
> So, for the two resource the full URI that I POST to is:
> /scm/v1/invoices and /scm/v1/purchaseorders.
>
> One of the things I'd like to do is have all versions in the same java
> class.
> So, I started writing my InvoiceResource like this:
>
> @Path("/scm")
> public class InvoiceResource {
> @POST
> @Path("/v1/invoices")
> @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
> @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
> public String createInvoice(@Context HttpServletRequest request,
> String inputs) {
> // do stuff
> }
> }
>
> Later when I work on version two I'd add a new method (createInvoiceV2) to
> the InvoiceResource class with @Path("/v2/invoices").
>
> So far so good.
>
> I then developed a similar class for purchase orders (POResource) but ran
> into a problem.
> I can't use the same @Path("/scm") annotation for the new class. I get
> 404 errors.
>
> One of the things that would fix it is to change the class level
> annotation to @Path("/scm/v1/invoices") but then I'd need a different class
> file for each new version of the API.
>
> So, my questions:
> Why can't I have the same @Path in different classes?
> Why can't I just remove the class level @Path annotation and have the full
> URI at the class level?
> Is there a good way to solve my problem while meeting my
> requirement/desire to keep all versions in the same class file?
>
> In case it matters, I'm using Jersey 1.17.
