Hi Prashant,
the problem is that the type of the variable is "Variable.TYPE_URI_ALL"
which means that it matches every characters. So
"/language/test/12345/java/" can match "/language/{var1}/{var2}/"
with "var1 variable valuated to "test/12345" and "var2" to "java".
By default, a variable matches a URI segment.
Could you explain a little bit more your use case?
Coming back to your first mail, you told us that "/language/12345/java/"
cannot match "/language/{var1}/{var2}/". But why? What are the rules
applied to each variables?
Best regards,
Thierry Boileau
