[zanata-devel] Approach to implementing locale mappings REST endpoint

[Carlos Munoz]

Could we just create two java methods, each mapped to each of the url
options, and have them call some common logic? We would need to make
sure both options work (not entirely sure how resteasy determines which
one to apply. Maybe it goes in order testing the reg exps).

That way we keep the urls a bit more readable. There's also the fact
that in the api documentation 'prefix' would not show up automatically.

We could also do it at the urlrewrite level. Again, no docs for the
endpoint, but it's transparent to the code.
