JAX-RS @Path with allowed slashes collide with other resources

Question

I am trying to allow slashes in my Path:

@Path("/user/{login}/points")

by using this solution so it becomes:

@Path("/user/{login : .+}/points")

but it will not work anytime a user names their account e.g

test/points

because only "test" will be passed. It works fine with test/test or any other login not ending with /points.

I have no idea how should I solve this. I need it as String param and it's set by user.

Thanks for any help!

in this solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2291428/jax-rs-pathparam-how-to-pass-a-string-with-slashes-hyphens-equals-too/23482769 it is showing to use (+) symbol why are you using (*) symbol — Mahesh, Dec 28 '17 at 09:02
@Mahesh, sorry it is a typo really, I have tested it with the plus sign. — INbahn, Dec 28 '17 at 09:09
@YCF_L: sadly it includes /points into the results, but I guess it is some kind of solution! — INbahn, Dec 28 '17 at 09:10
@Mahesh public Response getPoints(@PathParam("login") String login) throws ApplicationException I really appreciate your help! :) — INbahn, Dec 28 '17 at 11:58

Looks like I found the solution myself with a little help of @YCF_L (sadly he deleted his comment).

Solution:

@Path("/user/{login : .+(?=\\/points)}")
