Wildcards in path annnotations

[adamretter]

Wildcards should be allowed in path annotations, and should take the following form -

%rest:path("/a/b/{*}")

This matches any path starting with "/a/b" to be matched, and any remainder of the path is not captured.

%rest:path("/a/b/{$other?}")

This matches a path starting with "/a/b", or the path "/a/b/{X}" where X is captured into the function parameter $other (if X is present, otherwise the empty sequence).

%rest:path("/a/b/{$other+}")

This matches a path starting with "/a/b", or the path "/a/b/{X}" where X is captured into the function parameter $other, or the paths /a/b/{X1}/.../{Xn} where all values of X are captured into function parameter $other.

%rest:path("/a/b/{$other*}")

This matches a path starting with "/a/b", or the path /a/b/{X1}/.../{Xn} where all values of X are captured into function parameter $other (if X is present, otherwise the empty sequence).

I would recommend to simply use the JAX-RS syntax. However, regular expressions may then strech over more than one path segment.
