Input parameters in the URL path

Previous Next

You can create a custom REST service method with input parameters that are passed as part of the URL path. In the following URL, '154' is an input parameter specifying the ID of a requested resource:

http://localhost:8090/mycustomservice/ActiveBookings/154

 

To make this work, In Service Definer, the Relative URI Path of the method must be:

/ActiveBookings/{booking_id}

 

and you need to have an input parameter with the Annotation set to:

@PathParam("booking_id")

 

You can then use the value of the parameter in the implementation of the method.

The URL path is not suitable for passing more than 1 input parameter. If your method has multiple input parameters, consider using the URL query string or matrix parameters instead.
