Question

This is continuation of question Spring MVC @PathVariable getting truncated

Spring forum states that it has fixed(3.2 version) as part of ContentNegotiationManager.

Answer 1

adding the ":.+" worked for me, but not until I removed outer curly brackets.

value = {"/username/{id:.+}"} didn't work

value = "/username/{id:.+}" works

Hope I helped someone :)

Answer 2

If you write both back and frontend, another simple solution is to attach a "/" at the end of the URL at front. If so, you don't need to change your backend...

somepath/myemail@gmail.com/

Be happy!

Answer 3

In Spring Boot Rest Controller, I have resolved these by following Steps:

RestController :

@GetMapping("/statusByEmail/{email:.+}/")
public String statusByEmail(@PathVariable(value = "email") String email){
  //code
}

And From Rest Client:

Get http://mywebhook.com/statusByEmail/abc.test@gmail.com/

Answer 4

/somepath/{variable:.+} works in Java requestMapping tag.

Answer 5

In Spring Boot, The Regular expression solve the problem like

@GetMapping("/path/{param1:.+}")
