Using Spring 3 path variables

[jhazen]

I'm playing with Grails and trying to port an existing Spring 3 app.

I'm having trouble with @RequestMapping and @PathVariables of the following form:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/spring")
class SpringController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "test/{var1}/{var2}/done", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    ResponseEntity<String> whoa(@PathVariable String var1, @PathVariable String var2)
    {
        println "Called "+var1+" "+var2
        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.contentType = MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN;
        return new ResponseEntity<String>("Wootlez^max", headers, HttpStatus.OK)
    }
}

Request:

/spring/test/x/y/done

Output:

Called (*) (*)

It would also seem that the only way to get Grails to dispatch to Spring's url handler is to map my RESTful url to RESTful url.dispatch.

So -- URLMappings.groovy:

"/spring/test/$var1/$var2/done"(uri:"""/spring/test/$var1/$var2/done.dispatch""")

Anyone know how to get these path variables bound to 'x' and 'y'?
Bonus. Anyone know how to avoid having to specify URLMappings.groovy lines in addition to my Spring MVC annotations?
