Can a Spring RESTful endpoint know its own URL 'template'

Once an endpoint is invoked by Sprint/Tomcat, can that endpoint code determine its own URL template? Consider this verb and URL:

GET /my_resource/123/

The HTTP verb and 'template' looks something like this:

GET /my_resource/{id}/

I want to send a message to a rabbitMQ exchange, and I want the exchange to be deterministically derivable from the template. For example:

get|my_resource.id.

(I don't actually know if that's a valid queue. But you can see how I got there.) This allows me to make the endpoints very thin and removes an annoying dependency.

Yep, looks like a duplicate as long as I can get the `{id}` portion instead of `123`. – Tony Ennis Apr 05 '18 at 21:15
The request will have an attribute you can get with `request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.BEST_MATCHING_PATTERN_ATTRIBUTE)` – takendarkk Apr 05 '18 at 21:20
