Hi,
if you let the default variable type (which is "URI_SEGMENT"),
"/language/temp/12345.12345/java/" will match
"/language/{var1}/{var2}/java/" and won't match "/language/{var1}/{var2}/" .
If you need to play with the variable types , things become difficult,
because when creating the routes, you need to know how to update such
variable for such route.
A solution is to rely on a convention and to associate type and name of
a variable in the URI template: for example
"/language/{var1-digit}/{var2-all}/java/".
By convention, you can say that "var1-digit" means variable with name
"var1" and type "TYPE_DIGIT".
This is not very pretty and is just an idea, but I don't see obvious and
simple solution since the start point is a map of key/value.

Thierry Boileau
