How to write a controller method's signature when url has a parameter data after the slash?

Question

In PHP there is the possibility to recognize a parameter in the address bar by passing it in the controller's method ; for example :

http://192.168.2.49/papsp/index.php/meeting/modif/3

In this example the data 3 is taken as parameter value for the meeting controller's method modif :

public modif($key) { ... }

So how to proceed analogically in Spring ?
