Regex in @RequestMapping

I have got stuck with the following. Lets say I have an url like

http://localhost:8080/a/somename-anyothername-onemorename-aAttributeId.html
http://localhost:8080/a/anyothername-onemorename-aAttributeId.html
http://localhost:8080/a/anyothername-onemorename-anyothername-anyothername-aAttributeId.html
...

In general the url may have a number of parts. My goal is to set the AttributeId part of the url above as a variable in @RequestMapping as it shown below

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/**/a")
public class ProductPageController extends AbstractPageController
{

@RequestMapping(value = "/{attributeId:(?:[-a])(?!.*(?:[-a])).*}.html", method =      RequestMethod.GET)
     public String requestHandler(@PathVariable("attributeId") final String attributeId,   final Model model) {
          //method body
     }
}    
}

My question is what I do wrong with my regex? Should I split the regex somehow to escape everything before the aAttributeId.html part as the following:

@RequestMapping(value = "/{unused:*.}{productCode:(?:[-a])(?!.*(?:[-a])).*}.html", method = RequestMethod.GET)

Thanks for ideas

Update: Answer for the question

The final mapping looks as the following:

@RequestMapping(value = "/**{attributeId:a(?:[^-]+)}.html", method = RequestMethod.GET)

How about:

-a([^-]+)\.html

NB: I don't know spring syntax.
