allow supplying a custom path for an action

[zyro23]

it would be good to have a way to configure a custom path for an action.

if you have multiple url mappings poiting to the same action, currently only the default one created by linkGenerator is used.

something like an @ApiPath annotation would be cool.

Hmmm interesting. Since we don't go from url mapping -> controller is why we probably don't account for it. Curious how @RequestMapping plays with grails?

[zyro23]

you can use spring @Controller beans like in a normal spring web app.

on grails actions, @RequestMapping should not have any effect (grails does not "know" the annotation and spring does not scan grails controller beans for request mappings).
