jax rs - How to make in Jax-rs @Path to accept an url encoded? -

i'm trying have route working:

http://localhost:8080/api/settings/http%3a%2f%2fdbpedia.org%2fresource%2fapplication_software 

where http://dbpedia.org/resource/application_software id item want settings. instead, i've got working:

http://localhost:8080/api/settings/http://dbpedia.org/resource/application_software 

which not if want pass other parameters after url http://dbpedia.org/resource/application_software.

the function code is:

@get @path("/settings/{uri:^(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]}") public response geturisettings(         @pathparam("uri") string uri,          @context final httpservletresponse response) {      logger.debug("getting settings of " + uri); ... 

i'm validating have url in paramenter regex, cannot pass urlencoded...

how can work around problem have url id encoded on request?

thanks!
