Hello,
Using Variable.TYPE_ALL is not a good solution in your case, since it
catches all characters.
If you use the default type, only the value of the segment (i.e., what
is inside two '/') will be caught.
It also simplifies your code:
router.attach("/neighbors/{ISO3}", NeighborsResource.class);
router.attach("/neighbors/{ISO3}/language/{lang}",
NeighborsByEachLanguageResource.class);
You can also use the TunnelService [1]. It helps to set the client's
preferences (typically the media type, and the language).
The idea is to have only one route:
router.attach("/neighbors/{ISO3}", NeighborsResource.class);
Then, there are two solutions:
1/ If you activate the extension filter (see the TunnelService), clients
can request "/neighbors/ken.en".
2/ If you activate the query filter (see the TunnelService), clients can
request "/neighbors/ken?language=en" (note that you can rename
"language" to "lang", or whatever suits you).
You are required to ensure your languages are registered in the
MetadataService of your application.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Thierry Boileau
