Hi Cliff, you can also update the type of the declared variable in your URI template:
Route route = router.attach("/foos/{foo}/bar", sth);
Template template =
route.getTemplate().setMatchingMode(Template.MODE_EQUALS);
template.getVariables().put("foo", new Variable(Variable.TYPE_WORD));
You can find the list of all variable types in the Variable class.
Otherwise, the routing process is based on URI template. If you want one
based on regexp, I send you a sample template class based on regexp
pattern and a server/client test code.

Aron, Thanks, I didn't realize this was here. This would potentially work, and I may end up using it. Frankly, I want to be able to "have my cake and eat it too". An exact match using this construct would work, but would also force me to itemize every possible variation of a path via router.attach(). I was hoping to do some "fuzzy" enforcement in a base "Resource" class.

What is worse (maybe very confusing) is that this might match too: /foo/myFoo/bar/baz/bletch/fred.xml Again, I would like to forcefully ensure that this doesn't end upmatching. From memory - by default, the mode for matching incoming URIs to your URI templates is 'starts with' rather than 'equals'. As Jerome wrote back in February 2008:In some cases, you might want to change this default mode, and this is easy to do via the "defaultMatchingMode" property on Router, or by modifying the "matchingMode" property of the template associated with the route created by the Router.attach() methods. For the modes, you can use the Template.MODE_EQUALS or Template.MODE_STARTS_WITH constants."Here's one example of the latter: router.getTemplate().setMatchingMode(Template.MODE_EQUALS) Hope this is germane to your needs.
