How do I make a URL call to the following method if the testId is 1211.ml:FA890987422. Since there is a ':' in the testId, I try to make a request using URLEncoding (%3A for :) like this
http://localhost:8080/test/1211.ml%3AFA890987422
When I use the above URL, I get testId as 1211 as opposed to 1211.ml:FA890987422 even though '.' does not require URL encoding. What am I doing wrong? Also, would there be any other way to pass this testId to this method if I want to skip URL encoding?
@RequestMapping(value = "/test/{testId}",
method = RequestMethod.GET,
produces = "application/xml")
public @ResponseBody String testResource(
@PathVariable String testId){
System.out.println("Test Id: "+ testId)
// other codes follow
}
