Getting the extension from the original request is case of .xml and .json

[Javier Delgadillo <jd...@esri.com>]

All,

I have the following method in my JAX-RS service implementation:

  @GET
  @Path("/{path:.*}")
  public Response doGet( @PathParam("path") String path, @Context UriInfo info )

If someone issues a GET /foo.xml, in path I get the value "foo".  How do I figure out if the original request had a .xml suffix (or .json for that matter as it exhibits the same behavior)?

Perhaps the simpler option is to basically add

@Produces({"application/xml", "application/json" })

and let the runtime and providers manage the response accordingly.
If you do need to know what the extension was, try injecting HttpHeaders 
and get the value of Accept from there, if it is application/json then 
it had a ".json" extension, etc.

Finally, you can get HttpServletContext injected - this will also show 
the original request URI
