I see three options.

Option 1

Using ServerContainer.addEndpoint to add the same endpoint multiple
times with different configurations mapped to:
/ws
/ws/{a}
/ws/{a}/{b}
/ws/{a}/{b}/{c}

etc.

If there is a maximum depth that should work. If there isn't then it
will break at the maximum depth you configure +1.


Option 2

Look at the WsFilter implementation [1] and write an alternative filter
of your own that does custom mapping to endpoints and calls
UpgradeUtil.doUpgrade with the right parameters


Option 3
Write a filter that looks at the request and if it should use web socket
redirects to the correct URL and converts the additional pathInfo into
query parameters, puts the values into the session, or something else
along those lines.

HTH,

Mark
