When you putting an * (asterisk) in the end you need to write an Id or something instead of it like is described in this document . What you are trying to accomplish i guess is more like this

 @RestResource(urlMapping='/helloWorld')

And then make this call

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sessionId"  "https://instance.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/helloWorld"
