Spring 3 RequestMapping: Get path value

Is there a way to get the complete path value after the requestMapping @PathVariable values have been parsed?

That is: /{id}/{restOfTheUrl} should be able to parse /1/dir1/dir2/file.html into id=1 and restOfTheUrl=/dir1/dir2/file.html

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Non-matched part of the URL is exposed as a request attribute named HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE:

@RequestMapping("/{id}/**")
public void foo(@PathVariable("id") int id, HttpServletRequest request) {
    String restOfTheUrl = (String) request.getAttribute(
        HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE);
    ...
}
