Your first problem is getting the Path expression to match your URI. As far as
I know, the only practical way to do this is to specify a "catch-all
expression" in the URI.
For instance, the following:
@Path("{id:.*}")
Will provide the "id" parameter with the entire path info. The drawback is
that you may have to manually parse the data you have.
