I have a situation where I need the following RequestMapping:

@RequestMapping(value={"/{section}"})
...method implementation here...

@RequestMapping(value={"/support"})
...method implementation here...

There is an obvious conflict. My hope was that Spring would resolve this automatically and map /support to the second method, and everything else to the first, but it instead maps /support to the first method.

How can I tell Spring to allow an explicit RequestMapping to override a RequestMapping with a PathVariable in the same place?

(Edit - this is simplified, I know that having those two RequestMapping alone wouldn't make much sense)
