Spring multiple path variables

In my Spring controller, I try to get 3 path variables:

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/{term}/catalogue") - @PathVariable String language, @PathVariable String country, @PathVariable String term

Unfortunately this will not be recognized by the servlet.

There are ways to bind the URI, e.g.
@RequestMapping("**/catalogue") and also @RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/catalogue") will work, but with a third path variable the it stops working.

The controller itself is also mapped to a specific path.

Is there a limit for path variables? Is it possible that other wildcards (e.g. @RequestMapping("**")) will be higher evaluated? e.g. 2 wildcards more specific than 3 defined values. But wildcards should be the last matching option in praxis.

Regarding the appearing error:
First, with the wildcard mappings, they will be matched. When I disable the wildcard mappings a org.springframework.web.HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException error is thrown.

The Controller method:

@RequestMapping(value = "{language}/{country}/{term}/catalogue", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView catalogue(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, @PathVariable("language") String language, @PathVariable("country") String country, @PathVariable("term") String term, @RequestParam(value = "d", defaultValue = "") String device, @RequestParam(value = "embedded", defaultValue = "false") String embedded, @RequestParam(value = "id", defaultValue = "") String idString, @RequestParam(value = "nr", defaultValue = "") String nr) {

As ask, here are all RequestMappings from the controller (Sorry, I can't post the complete code from the controller here):

@Controller
@RequestMapping("xyz/")
public class Controller {

@RequestMapping(value = "{language}/{country}/{term}/catalogue", method = RequestMethod.GET)

@RequestMapping("**")

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/product")

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/product-detail")

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/product-search")

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/dealer-search")

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/product-finder")

@RequestMapping("{language}/{country}/table")

@RequestMapping("**/languages")

@RequestMapping("**/chooseLanguages")
}    

Thanks for help.

Try this. Don't forget the ("lang") in the path variable declaration in your method parameter

@RequestMapping(value = "/{lang}/{count}/{term}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<?> getSomething(@PathVariable("lang") String lang, @PathVariable("count") String count, @PathVariable("term") String term) {

This may be a bug (fixed in Spring 4.1): check out SPR-6741.

As described in the issue, you have in the same controller:

  • a mapping with 3 path variables
  • a "fallback" mapping /**
