how to configure spring-data-rest search method path with @PathVariable

Question

I want to customize my spring-data-rest search method path by passing parameter as a path variable like follows

http://localhost:8080/orders/search/customers         


        

Answer 1

Use HttpServletRequest to get the request url:

findByCustomer(@PathVariable("customerId") Integer customer, HttpServletRequest request){
    String request = request.getRequestURL().toString(); // StringBuffer, so use append if you want to...
    [...]
}

also you can use request.getQueryString() to get the query part after ?.
