Description

As of now, the rest-plugin supports only 1 level of hierarchy like /resource/$resource_id

Can we extend this to implement multi levels like below : 
/resource/$resource_id/sub_resource/$sub_resource_id 

 

Here is an example : 
For getting an organization info, we can use a REST API like /organizations/organization_id (supported already)

To get details of an employee of an organization we need to map it as a 
sub-resource like /organizations/organization_id/employees/employee_id 
rather than just making it as /employees/employee_id. 

Note : In this case there are 2 ids in the URL 
1. resource_id - organization_id and
2. the sub_resource_id - employee_id.
