Is it possible to configure JAX-RS method with variable number of URI parameters?

Question

Hi,

is it possible to configure GET method to read variable number of URI parameters and interpret them either as variable argument (array) or collection? I know query parameters can be read as list/set but I can't go for them in my case.

E.g.:

@GET
@Produces("text/xml")
@Path("list/{taskId}")
public String getTaskCheckLists(@PathParam("taskId") int... taskId) {
    return Arrays.toString(taskId);
}

Thanks in advance

If I understand your question correctly, the @Path annotation can take a regular expression to specify a list of path components. For example, something like:

@GET
@Path("/list/{taskid:.+}")
public String getTaskCheckLists(@PathParam("taskid") List<PathSegment> taskIdList) {
    ......
}

There's a more extensive example here.
