The issue I have with this approach is that it doesn't allow to mix several
search criteria (balance_less_than=2000&status=active).
I'd like to have:
1) /accounts/1234 -> retrieve an individual account
2) /accounts?balance_less_than=2000&status=active ->search
That's why I was hoping creating my restlets like so:
attach("/accounts/[0-9]+$", new GetAccountHandler())
attach("/accounts?[.]+$", new SearchAccountHandler())
would work.
Now, following your idea, I could do:
attach("/accounts/search?[.]+$", new SearchAccountHandler())
and access it with /accounts/search?balance_less_than=2000&status=active
But it kind of bothers me to have to have to specify the action twice (the http
GET method and the 'search' portion of the url).

Well, it turns out restlets only understand the base of the URLs.
