GET /rest/Person will return all person objects

GET /rest/Person/1 will return a person object with id 1

GET /rest/Person/pets will call the static method 'pets' on the class Person and return the output

GET /rest/Person/1/cats will call the method on the person object with uid == 1 and return the output

GET /rest/Person/pets?name=xx will call the static method 'pets' on class Person with arguments 'xx' and return the output
