I have to get params from URL using @PathValiable in SpringBoot application. These params often have slashes. I don't have a control about what a user would enter in URL so I would like to get what he has entered and then I can handle with it.
I have already looked through materials and answers here, I don't think that for me the good solution is to ask users somehow encode the entering params.
The SpringBoot code is simple:
@RequestMapping("/modules/{moduleName}")
@ResponseBody
public String moduleStrings (@PathVariable("moduleName") String moduleName) throws Exception {
...
}
So the URL for example would be the following:
http://localhost:3000/modules/...
The issue is that the param moduleName often has slashes. For example,
metadata-api\cb-metadata-services OR
app-customization-service-impl\\modules\\expand-link-schemes\\common\\app-customization-service-api
So a user definetely can enter:
http://localhost:3000/modules/metadata-api\cb-metadata-services
Is this possible to get everything what a user has entered in URL after /modules/?
If anyone tell me what are the good ways to handle such issue.
This code gets the complete path:
@RequestMapping(value = "/modules/{moduleBaseName}/**", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public String moduleStrings(@PathVariable String moduleBaseName, HttpServletRequest request) {
final String path =
request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE).toString();
final String bestMatchingPattern =
request.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.BEST_MATCHING_PATTERN_ATTRIBUTE).toString();
String arguments = new AntPathMatcher().extractPathWithinPattern(bestMatchingPattern, path);
String moduleName;
if (null != arguments && !arguments.isEmpty()) {
moduleName = moduleBaseName + '/' + arguments;
} else {
moduleName = moduleBaseName;
}
return "module name is: " + moduleName;
}
