I have the following mapping:
@RequestMapping(value = "/{first}/**/{last}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String test(@PathVariable("first") String first, @PathVariable("last")
String last) {}
Which for the following URIs:
foo/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/bar
foo/a/bar
foo/bar
maps foo to first and bar to last and works fine.
What I would like is something that maps everything between foo and bar into a single path param, or null if there is no middle (as in the last URI example):
@RequestMapping(value = "/{first}/{middle:[some regex here?]}/{last}",
method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String test(@PathVariable("first") String first, @PathVariable("middle")
String middle, @PathVariable("last") String last) {}
Pretty stuck on the regex since I was hoping that something simple like {middle:.*}, which only maps to /foo/a/bar, or {middle:(.*/)*}, which seems to map to nothing.
Does the AntPathStringMatcher tokenize upon "/" prior to applying regex patterns? (making patterns that cross a / impossible) or is there a solution?
FYI this is in Spring 3.1M2
This seem similar to @RequestMapping controllers and dynamic URLs but I didn't see a solution there.
In my project, I use inner variable in the springframework:
@RequestMapping(value = { "/trip/", // /trip/
"/trip/{tab:doa|poa}/",// /trip/doa/,/trip/poa/
"/trip/page{page:\\d+}/",// /trip/page1/
"/trip/{tab:doa|poa}/page{page:\\d+}/",// /trip/doa/page1/,/trip/poa/page1/
"/trip/{tab:trip|doa|poa}-place-{location}/",// /trip/trip-place-beijing/,/trip/doa-place-shanghai/,/trip/poa-place-newyork/,
"/trip/{tab:trip|doa|poa}-place-{location}/page{page:\\d+}/"// /trip/trip-place-beijing/page1/
}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String tripPark(Model model, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
int page = 1;
String location = "";
String tab = "trip";
//
Map pathVariables = (Map) request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE);
if (pathVariables != null) {
if (pathVariables.containsKey("page")) {
page = NumberUtils.toInt("" + pathVariables.get("page"), page);
}
if (pathVariables.containsKey("tab")) {
tab = "" + pathVariables.get("tab");
}
if (pathVariables.containsKey("location")) {
location = "" + pathVariables.get("location");
}
}
page = Math.max(1, Math.min(50, page));
final int pagesize = "poa".equals(tab) ? 40 : 30;
return _processTripPark(location, tab, pagesize, page, model, request);
}
See HandlerMapping.html#URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE
Can't be done as far as I know. Just as you stated, the regular expression is being applied to the path element after splitting up the path at each slash, so the regular expression can never match a '/'.
You could manually inspect the url and parse it yourself from the request object.
It could be done by writing a custom path matcher and configuring Spring to use it. For example, such a solution is documented here: http://java.dzone.com/articles/spring-3-webmvc-optional-path
The link provides a custom path matcher and shows how to configure spring to use it. That should solve your need if you don't mind writing a custom component.
Also, this is a duplicate of With Spring 3.0, can I make an optional path variable?
try to use this
@RequestMapping(value = {"some mapped address","some mapped address with path variable","some mapped address with another path variable"})
array list of available url for specific method
But be careful on creating list of url when you are using @PathVariable in your method signature it cant be null.
hope this help
