How to have "/" backslash in @RequestMapping ?

[deepinjava]

Hi,

I have a requirement where the id I use in @RequestMapping accept a value of the format “1234567812345678” and “abcxyz/abcxy+z$” (basically a auto generated string with “/” forward slash in it).

I have tried a mapping of all the 3 below formats but nothing works:

@RequestMapping(value="abc/action/{id: .+[//]*.*}.{format}", method=RequestMethod.PUT) -- Accepts nothing.

@RequestMapping(value=" abc/action/{id:.+}.{format}", method=RequestMethod.PUT) -- Accepts everything except ‘/’

@RequestMapping(value=" abc/action/{id:.*}.{format}", method=RequestMethod.PUT) -- Accepts everything except ‘/’

However, when I try the same regex in a normal java program, it works like a charm :

package miscellenousTest;
public class RegExTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s1 ="9876543298765432";
String s2 =" abcxyz/abcxy+z$";
System.out.println(s1.matches(".+[//]*.*"));
System.out.println(s2.matches(".+[//]*.*"));
}
}

I have gone through some of the previous posts but nothing gives me the exact solution I am looking for.

It will be great if someone can throw some pointers/solution at this one.
