I feel like this is a common problem but nothing I've researched has worked yet...
In my web.xml I have a mapping for all REST calls -
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springmvc</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This works well if the URL is -
GET /rest/people
but fails if it is
GET /rest/people/1
I get a 400 Bad Request
error saying The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ()
. I'm not sure it even made it to the Spring servlet to get routed...
How can I wildcard anything that starts with /rest
so that it can be handled appropriately?
In other words, I'd like for all of the following to be valid -
GET /rest/people
GET /rest/people/1
GET /rest/people/1/phones
GET /rest/people/1/phones/23
Edit - Controller code as requested
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/people")
public class PeopleController {
@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String getPeople() {
return GsonFactory.getInstance().toJson(LookupDao.getInstance().getPeople());
}
@RequestMapping(value="{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String getPerson(@PathVariable String id) {
return GsonFactory.getInstance().toJson(LookupDao.getInstance().getPerson(id));
}
}
Answer
@matsev It didn't seem to matter if I had the /
there or not.
While I was transposing the variable names for public view I changed a couple things to make it work.
Original
@RequestMapping(value="{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String getPerson(@PathVariable String userId) {
return GsonFactory.getInstance().toJson(LookupDao.getInstance().getPerson(userId));
}
What I posted
@RequestMapping(value="{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String getPerson(@PathVariable String id) {
return GsonFactory.getInstance().toJson(LookupDao.getInstance().getPerson(id));
}
The variable name mismatch did me in... I leave this here as a warning to all... match your variable names!
Try add a /
before the {id}
:
@RequestMapping(value="/{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
Without it, the id will be appended directly to the people url, e.g /rest/people1
as opposed to /rest/people/1
.
/people
and not/people/{id}
