Implementing Template Method Design Pattern in RESTful services Java

Question

Anyone tried implementing Template Method Design pattern in REST? I am trying to separate common functions across the endpoints into a template method, so the framework is handling some of these. I could not figure out a way to do it. Any ideas?

Have a look at RESTCommand.java from a blog entry discussing Android RESTful pattern .

I'm pretty sure execute() is a template method (although not the greatest example since it's only calling a single abstract method that's overridden in subclasses). Note that this is likely also the Command pattern.
