PathParam Interface

Implements

public interface PathParam
implements Annotation

Annotation to annotate replacement for a named path segment in REST endpoint URL.

A parameter that is annotated with PathParam will be ignored if the "uri template" does not contain a path segment variable with name value().

Example 1:

@Get("subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/"
     + "virtualMachines/")
 VirtualMachine getByResourceGroup(@PathParam("subscriptionId") String subscriptionId,
     @PathParam("resourceGroupName") String rgName,
     @PathParam("foo") String bar);

 // The value of parameters subscriptionId, resourceGroupName will be encoded and used to replace the
 // corresponding path segments {subscriptionId}, {resourceGroupName} respectively.

Example 2: (A use case where PathParam.encoded=true will be used)

// It is possible that a path segment variable can be used to represent sub path:

 @Get("http://wq.com/foo/{subpath}/value")
 String getValue(@PathParam("subpath") String param1);

 // In this case, if consumer pass "a/b" as the value for param1 then the resolved url looks like:
 // "http://wq.com/foo/a%2Fb/value".
// For such cases the encoded attribute can be used:

 @Get("http://wq.com/foo/{subpath}/values")
 List<String> getValues(@PathParam(value = "subpath", encoded = true) String param1);

 // In this case, if consumer pass "a/b" as the value for param1 then the resolved url looks as expected:
 // "http://wq.com/foo/a/b/values".
