combine GET and POST services to single one?

I have two controllers I wrote using JERSEY api. I am able to run both services just fine, but I would like to join the two of them under the same ImageApi controller eliminating the SubmitFileController. Is it possible to have @Get method and @POST in the same controller? How will it handle the different paths?

currently its: server/image/getPictureById and server/submitFile (using post)

code: 

@Path("/image")
public class ImageApi extends ServiceAPI{   
    @Path("/getPictureById/{imageId}")
    @GET
    @Produces("image/png")
    public Response getPictureById(@PathParam("imageId") String imageId){}

this image service gets the contextfrom Service API:

public class ServiceAPI {
    @Context 
    private ServletContext context;
    public ServletContext getContext() {return context;}
    public void setContext(ServletContext context) {this.context = context;}
}

and

@Path("/submitFile")
public class SubmitFileController {

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    public Response uploadFile(
            @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
            @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {}

Yes

How will it handle the different paths?

If you have @Path("/image/getPictureById/") above the GET method, then /image/getPictureById/ gets appended to the @Path annotation of the controller, if the annotation exists. So the path would become server/submitFile/image/getPictureById/ unless you moved the @Path annotation of the controller to the POST method instead (in which case your http API will stay the same).

Note: You can process GET and POST requests at the exact same path, if you wanted to (doesn't seem to apply here).

public class Controller {
    @Path("/submitFile")
    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    public Response uploadFile(
        @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
        @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {}

    @Path("/image/getPictureById/{imageId}")
    @GET
    @Produces("image/png")
    public Response getPictureById(@PathParam("imageId") String imageId){}
