Description

Following the discussion on making OFBiz RESTful OFBIZ-4274 i implemented the support of segmented URIs without interfering with current mechanisms of URI resolution nor with overrideView() feature.

Combined with work on associating URIs and HTTP methods done by mthl in OFBIZ-10438 , we are now able to provide RESTful APIs as follows:

<request-map uri="foo/bar" method="get">
...
<request-map uri="foo/bar/{baz}" method="get">
...
<request-map uri="foo/bar/{baz}" method="post">
...

After we matched a request-map having parametrized URI as in

uri="foo/bar/{baz}"

the value is available inside the request attributes with the corresponding key (here "baz")

The restful_URIs.patch allows segmented URI support.
The entitymaint_example.patch is a modified entitymaint part that serves as an example of possible application of new system.

Any questions or comments are welcomed.
