/**
 * This annotation may be used to annotate method parameters on server endpoints where a URI-template has been used in
 * the path-mapping of the {@link ServerEndpoint} annotation. The method parameter may be of type String, any Java
 * primitive type or any boxed version thereof. If a client URI matches the URI-template, but the requested path
 * parameter cannot be decoded, then the websocket's error handler will be called.
 *
 * 
 * For example:-
 *
 * 
 * 
 * @ServerEndpoint("/bookings/{guest-id}")
 * public class BookingServer {
 *
 *     @OnMessage
 *     public void processBookingRequest(@PathParam("guest-id") String guestID, String message, Session session) {
 *         // process booking from the given guest here
 *     }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * For example:-
 *
 * 
 * 
 * @ServerEndpoint("/rewards/{vip-level}")
 * public class RewardServer {
 *
 *     @OnMessage
 *     public void processReward(@PathParam("vip-level") Integer vipLevel, String message, Session session) {
 *         // process reward here
 *     }
 * }
