Yes, I agree, I'd just like to get the confirmation that
"Descending order of a number of capturing groups" sorting criteria is
there
to address this kind of scenario.
So if have a 'greedy' SubResource2 locator which handles all /{var}/*
requests, then does it mean that there's no way to ensure that some
other subresource locators can get involved in handling /{var}/*
requests, possibly with different HTTP methods ? It's not a specific
issue I'm trying to sort out, but just curious
Same question applies to selection of root resources. If we have a
'greedy'
root resource then it will basically catch all the requests matching a
specific pattern. So probably it only makes sense to have multiple root
resources/sublocators on a given resource class for different @Paths
only then...

IMO, b() would be matched always because Locator's are supposed to be
dynamically processed/dispatched per request.
