IllegalArgumentException: Not enough variable valu

Question

I am trying to execute URL using RestTemplate like this -

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    String url = "http://ptr.vip.host.com/pss/repositories/pssdb/branches/main/query/Service[@alias="
                        + "hello"
                        + "].serviceInstances.runsOn{@resourceId}?allowScan=true&limit=10000&skip=0";
    try {
        String response = restTemplate.getForObject(url, String.class);
        System.out.println(response);
    } catch (RestClientException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

But everytime I am getting error like this -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not enough variable values available to expand '@resourceId'
    at org.springframework.web.util.UriComponents$VarArgsTemplateVariables.getValue(UriComponents.java:272)

What is wrong I am doing and how to fix it?

Update:-

I tried with this url as well and it didn't worked for me. I just replaced {@resourceId} with {{@resourceId}}

String url = "http://ptr.vip.host.com/pss/repositories/pssdb/branches/main/query/Service[@alias="
                        + "hello"
                        + "].serviceInstances.runsOn{{@resourceId}}?allowScan=true&limit=10000&skip=0";

Update-2

Here is the code -

try {

    UriComponentsBuilder builder = UriComponentsBuilder
            .fromPath("http://ptr.vip.str.host.com/pss/repositories/pssdb/branches/main/query/Service[@alias="
                    + "hello"
                    + "].serviceInstances.runsOn{@resourceId}?allowScan=true&limit=10000&skip=0");
    UriComponents uriComponents = builder.build();
    URI uri = uriComponents.toUri();

    String response = restTemplate.getForObject(uri, String.class);
    System.out.println(response);

} catch (RestClientException ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}

And the error is -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute
    at java.net.URI.toURL(URI.java:1095)
    at org.springframework.http.client.SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory.createRequest(SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory.java:109)

Answer 1

U should see the soucre of RestTemplate. The method of getForObject need three parameters,like

public <T> T getForObject(String url, Class<T> responseType, Object... urlVariables)

The 'url' is the part of url's prefix(in front of '?') and 'urlVariables' is a array of parameters.

It doesn't seem like RestTemplate has a means of ignoring {...}. Instead, generate a URI from your String value (without the double {}).

String url = "http://ptr.vip.host.com/pss/repositories/pssdb/branches/main/query/Service[@alias="
            + "hello"
            + "].serviceInstances.runsOn{@resourceId}?allowScan=true&limit=10000&skip=0";
UriComponentsBuilder builder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromPath(url);
UriComponents uriComponents = builder.build();
URI uri = uriComponents.toUri();

and use the overloaded getForObject method which takes a URI.
