I am trying to find a definitive answer as to how URI Templates in Spring MVC are parsed. 
The [Documentation](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-ann-requestmapping-uri-templates) links to the Draft RFC, but Spring is not listed in the [RFC's implementations page](http://code.google.com/p/uri-templates/wiki/Implementations)
On the other hand, [this page](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.0.x/reference/mvc.html#mvc-static-resources) seems to suggest that they use SpEL.
Anyone has a link that could clear this for me?
