[Java] Interface UrlMappingParser

    public interface UrlMappingParser

Parses a Grails URL mapping into a UrlMappingData object that holds various information about the mapping

A Grails URL pattern is not a regex, but is an extension to the form defined by Apache Ant and used by Spring AntPathMatcher. Unlike regular Ant paths Grails URL patterns allow for capturing groups in the form:

`/blog/(*)/**`

The parenthesis define a capturing group. This implementation transforms regular Ant paths into regular expressions that are able to use capturing groups
