[aerogear-dev] [aerogear-controller] Request Parameter support

[Sebastien Blanc]

Hi,

About the "location" I have a bit the same feeling as Matthias but like him
I have no better idea for the moment.
You said that for now, without any defaults, we have to overload the target
method but is it not possible to just pass null if no values and no default
is provided ?
Because in your example that would mean that must have 2 differents routes
defined if I want to retrieve all the cars or filtered cars based on the
request params.

Seb
