I've done a quick test, it works for me. Example, given
@Path("/bookstore")
public class BookStore {
@Path{"{catch:.*}"}
@GET
public Book getDefaultBook() {}
@Path{"/books/{id}"}
@GET
public Book getBook(@PathParam("id") Long id) {}
}
a query like '/bookstore/books//' gets handled by getDefaultBook().
What CXF version do you use ? It has to work, may be you have a stricter reg
expression than is used in my test. ?
Cheers, Sergey
