All the details are mentioned in the stackoverflow question. If anything else is required, please let me know.
If this kind of functionality is supported by spring, please provide some examples for it.

The exact path pattern rules are given here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/util/pattern/PathPattern.html
There are limitations to the path patterns we support, because we want to rule out ambiguities and make sure the algorithm is efficient.
It looks like you should be able to use the variable pattern {*foo} and get close to what you are looking for.

@poutsma, I have gone through the path patterns that are supported by spring and if what I want to achieve using regex is not possible then it's perfectly okay. I will use the {*foo} for it.
@rstoyanchev, thank you for pointing it out. It's my first time raising an issue here. Will keep the guidelines in mind from next time.
