Well, the above says to me that a bullet 2 is also, at least partially, about selecting the methods.
Ex :
@Path("/")
class Bar {
@ProduceMime("application/xml")
@Path("{id}") @GET getXml() {}
@ProduceMime("application/json")
@Path("{id}") @GET getJson() {}
@Path("{id}") @PUT put() {}
}
As it currently stands bullet 2 will just identify Bar as being the legitimate holder of methods which can be invoked.
In bullet 3 then we again need to check both methods, this time for the match against @GET or @PUT. As I suggested earlier, if 2.d were updated something like this :
. Remove members derived from Tmethod (those added in step 2(c)i) for which the final capturing group value is neither empty nor '/' *or when Tmethod has a method designator which does not match the current Http request method*
then at least it would only be getXml()/getJson pair or put() which would make it to the bullet 3.
Then the bullet 3 would only talk about Produce/ConsumeMimes, as the Http method match has already been done and UriTemplate match has already been done too earlier in bullet 2.
Overall though, the algorithm's formal picture gets much clearer to me, thanks.
About (.+)?. Would it make any sense to have an additional property added to @Path such that if it's set would give a hint whether (.+)? or the current (.*)? should be used ?
For example, default can be (.+)? but with @Path(value="foo{bar}",optional=true) it will be (.*?)
or the other way around...
