Multiple requestmapping value with path variables

Question

@RequestMapping(value = {\"/abcd\", \"/employees/{value}/{id}\"})
public String getEmployees(
      @PathVariable(value = \"value\") String val, 
      @PathVariable(val         


        

Answer 1

We can't have optional path variables, you can have two controller methods which can call the same service.

First Method

@RequestMapping("/abcd")
public String getEmployees(@RequestParam(value="param", required=false)String value){}

Second Method

@RequestMapping("/employees/{value}/{id}")
public String getEmployees(@PathVariable(value="value") String val, @PathVariable(value="id") String id, @RequestParam(value="param", required=false) String value){}

For @RequestParam we can use,

@RequestParam(value="somevalue",required=false)

for optional params rather than a pathVariable
