+1 , Although I have not tested, I believed that the regular expression itself can express what charith needed (though you may need code changes because of Java API).
>From my point of view, trying to expose the JAVA API in the synapse API is not good. The synapse API is high level than Java and targets for high level users. Problem -> Solution -> programing model -> synapse API -> implementation's language API .... on in other direction.
