Polymorphic REST methods involved based on optional query params?

[Casey Jordan]

I am using rest delegates and I am trying to figure out how I can have optional query params, which when matched by the annotation system will call different methods. 

For instance, in the example below, I have one endpoint which gets called when there is no optional ?additional=... query param. And another when that query param is present. 

However, the first one always gets called, even when I have the additional query param. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

@Path("/metrics")
MetricsResource metrics();

@Path("/metrics")
MetricsResource metrics(@QueryParam("additional") String additional);

From the top of my head, I would guess that you could make your first function a private one to be called when ?additionnal is null or empty?

What do you think?
