Locator method and resource method with same URI does not dispatch

public static class Receiver
{
@Path("/head")
@GET
public String get()

{ return this.getClass().getName(); }

}

public static class QueueReceiver extends Receiver
{

}

@Path("/directory")
public static class Directory
{
@Path("/receivers/

{id}")
public QueueReceiver getReceiver(@PathParam("id")String id)
{ return new QueueReceiver(); }

@DELETE
@Path("/receivers/{id}

")
public String closeReceiver(@PathParam("id")String id) throws Exception

{ return Directory.class.getName(); }

}

if the invocation is "DELETE /receiver/1" it will not dispatch to closeReceiver.
