Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently we have a feature where the Root path is generated as a constant . https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/issues/13374

There is a requirement where we need Path of methods to be in constant file as well, so that it can be reused.

Describe the solution you'd like

In The RestResource where we have APPLICATION_PATH as constant, we can have other constants in the same class.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We tried reflections to get the path per method but that is not a feasible solution

Research direction

Start by locating the generated RestResource class and its APPLICATION_PATH constant, then trace the generator templates or entry points that produce resource methods. Confirm how method paths are represented and whether existing generated tests cover them; done means each method path is exposed as a reusable constant alongside APPLICATION_PATH.
