Ambiguous URLs, one with PathVariable

Question

I have Spring 3.2 web app and i have controller with following request mappings:

@RequestMapping(value = \"/test/{param1}\", method = RequestMethod.GET)
publ         


        

Answer 1

Can i be sure that if someone ask for url /test/login the method2 will be invoked? Yes.

The mappings are resolved by specificity, the relevant piece of doc is available here

A pattern with a lower count of URI variables and wild cards is considered more specific. For example /hotels/{hotel}/* has 1 URI variable and 1 wild card and is considered more specific than /hotels/{hotel}/** which as 1 URI variable and 2 wild cards.

If two patterns have the same count, the one that is longer is considered more specific. For example /foo/bar* is longer and considered more specific than /foo/*.

When two patterns have the same count and length, the pattern with fewer wild cards is considered more specific. For example /hotels/{hotel} is more specific than /hotels/*.

If the two mappings match a request, a more specific will apply. Out of the two mappings, /test/login is more specific.
