Hello,

I implement a REST plugin for ElasticSearch that provides a set of URI  
to manage and search indices. I attached the supported URIs using the  
RestController and this works fine.

I have however the issue of dynamic URIs depending on the structure of  
types but I can't find a way to configure them. For example, for a type  
that has a field named field1, I would like to support URI like  
"(...)/mytype/id/field1" and "(...)/mytype/id/field1/fieldA" with a  
pattern like "(...)/{type}/{id}/\*". As a matter of fact, I can't know  
the depth of URI elements after "(...)/{type}/{id}/" by advance since it  
depends on the structure of type.

In fact I would need to attach handlers for URIs that starts with a  
specific pattern. Is it something supported?

Thanks for your help.  
Thierry
