I've added a route of type COLLECTION using Google GDATA approach (base =
+
":collection/-/:categories").

Now, the resolver returns the :categories variable in Target.params. I =
just
.split("/") this value to get the list of targeted categories.

Thanks all for your insights.

I don't know if it's the best practice but I usually add another route =
with
categories as part of the url:

.addRoute("feed", base + "*:collection/category/:cat*",
TargetType.TYPE_COLLECTION)

I think this approach is more user friendly
