[resteasy] Client escapes slashes causing failure

I have a client which uses the following method: @GET @Path("/{path}/treeHash") Response getEntityHash(@PathParam("path") RelativePath path); The RelativePath object gets converted into a value of: t;unit-testing/e;ua2shhq9 Example full URL: /entity/t;unit-testing/e;ua2shhq9/treeHash When its executed, the forward slash is converted to %2F (encoded /). This causes the call to fail. What do i need to do, to make sure its not URL encoded? I've tried adding @Encoded, but that has no effect. Cheers.
