Suppport for Regular expressions in template params.

[Chaitanya <ch...@pramati.com>]

Hi,

JAX-RS specification says, template parameters can optionally specify the regular expression used to match their values. The default value matches any text and terminates at the end of a path segment but other values can be used to alter this behavior, e.g.:

@Path("widgets/{path:.+}")
 public class Widget {
 ... 
 }

In the above example the Widget resource class will be matched for any request whose path starts with widgets and contains at least one more path segment; the value of the path parameter will be the request path following widgets. E.g. given the request path widgets/small/a the value of path would be small/a.

As of now CXF 2.2 snapshot does not support this, are you going to support it by final release?

Thank You.
