JAX-RS: Multiple paths

Question

Is it possible to do something like that?

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;

public class xxx
{
  @GET
  @Path(value = \"path1\")
  public Res

Some extra details about Path annotation...

As a previous responses state, regular expressions to be used with in the annotated path declaration mapping:

{" variable-name [ ":" regular-expression ] "} 

You can declare multiple paths, but there is also a path hierarchy that was not immediately obvious to me whereby the class annotated path prefixes the following method path annotations. One might write the following class for a concise multiple path option which could be useful for resource versioning perhaps.

@Path("/{a:v1|v2}")
@Produces("text/*")
public class BlahResource {

    @GET
    @Path("/blah")
    public Response m1() {
        return Response.ok("blah").build();
    }
}

Please note the fact that the class "BlahResource" has been declared with the path "/v1" or "/v2" making the resource accessible as:

$ curl localhost:8080/v1/blah
blah

and also

$ curl localhost:8080/v2/blah
blah
