Use @RequestMapping with Dynamic URL at Controller Level

Question

I've been doing my fair amount of research through Stack Overflow and Google and the closest I found was something like this post but still it does not answer my question. The documentation for @RequestMapping doesn't say anything about the possibilities of using dynamic URLs at the controller level so I was wondering if something like the code below is possible:

@RequestMapping("/something/{somethingsId}")
public class ExampleController{
    //Some methods mapping to some endpoints that start with /something/{somethingsId}
    @GetMapping("/getOtherThing")
    public ResponseEntity<> getOtherThing(@PathVariable("somethingsId")String somethingsId){
        //Do something with somethingsId
    }
}

This is just an example code of what I intend to achieve. I want to do this to separate some functionalities into different controllers that need this somethingsId to be able to work but I don't know if what I want is possible or if I will have to content myself with repeating the same thing in every method of the controller to get that "somethingsId" path variable.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Yes you can achive it, follow the same way as I mentioned

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/owners/{ownerId}")
public class Test {

    @RequestMapping("/pets/{petId}")
    public void findPet(@PathVariable String ownerId, @PathVariable String petId, Model model) {
        System.out.println("ownerId "+ownerId+" petId "+petId);
    }
}

Worked perfectly I think, tested it already and it's a relief that this works. Documentation or examples on the internet don't quite reflect that this usage is possible, at least not where I searched for.
