Hi

I'd like to ask another question about it.

Consider this class

@Path("/")
public class RootResource {

   @PATH("foo")
   public Bar getLocator() {
   }

   @GET
   @PATH("foo")
   public Response getState() {
   }
}

> GET /foo

As per the Section 2.5.2.d, both getState() and getLocator() will be in the initial list of candidates.

I'm not quite sute what happens next, as far as 2.5.2.f is concerned.
I think for both methods the number of literal characters (in templates) and the number of capturing groups is the same, thus
getLocator() will be chosen simply because it goes first alphabetically, and then Bar will be further introspected.

Is it correct ?

Thanks, Sergey
