Wiremock URL matching logic

Question

I am trying to compare the abilities of Soap UI and Wiremock using the following requirement (which is realistic enough for most cases in my projects).

Goal is to create a mock for a currency price service. The requirements:

Accessible at

mytesthost/priceservice/getprice
Expects one parameter called the 'cur' which defines the currenypair like: cur=EURHUF
When called as below should respond with an XML response saved in file EURHUF.xml.

mytesthost/priceservice/getprice?cur=EURHUF
When called as below should respond with an XML response saved in file EURUSD.xml.

mytesthost/priceservice/getprice?cur=EURUSD
When called with any other currencypair it should respond with an error response stored in NOCURR.xml

Implementing this in Soap UI boils down to preparing the result than implementing a few lines of Groovy code to select the response.

When approaching the problem with wiremock i can match for the two 'happpy' path cases but don't know how to achieve the fallback case (with NOCURR.xml).

Example on how i am doing the matching:

{
    "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "url": "/priceservice/getprice?cur=EURUSD"
    },
    "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "bodyFileName": "EURUSD.xml"
    }
}

Can i achieve this with wiremock? I am mainly interested to do this via the Json configuration but if the Java API would be the way that is also fine.

Found the solution. So we have three Json mapping files:

For EURUSD matching
For CHFHUF matching
For everything else - even non existing currency pairs

For the 1st and the 2nd the mapping is like this:

{
    "priority": 1,
    "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "url": "/priceservice/getprice?cur=CHFHUF"
    },
    "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "bodyFileName": "CHFHUF.xml"
    }
}

Please note the priority=1!

Where as for the 'else' case we have:

{
    "priority": 2,
    "request": {
        "method": "GET",
        "urlPattern": "/priceservice/.*"
    },
    "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "bodyFileName": "NOCURR.xml"
    }
}

Not only this has a lower priority (2) also instead of 'url' i added 'userPattern' for regex matching.
