empty path variable inside url get me 404 not found - spring

i have a request with empty path variable that get me a 404 response.how can i get my GET request to go into my webservice and throw exception showing that the pathvariable is empty. for now i'm having a 404 not found exception. exemple : GET
request url : hello/123/me ==> works fine
request url hello//me ===> 404 not found
#GetMapping(value = "/hello/{uuid}/me")
public ResponseEntity<Void> hello(
#PathVariable(name = "uuid", required = false) String uuid){

You can achieve it with the following code.
#GetMapping(value = {"/hello/{uuid}/me", "/hello//me"})
public ResponseEntity<Void> hello(#PathVariable(name = "uuid", required = false) String uuid) {
What I have done is, just added /hello//me also to the request mapping of the same function. You can add multiple URLs just like this.
I suggest making the URL without parameters as /hello/me just to make it a standard, obviously if you have a scenario where you want to achieve it with /hello//me, you can do that.

Maybe this the answer you looking for...., basically you want to pass the value of that uuid to be checked if its valid or not. If its not you can pass the exception into the web service using IllegalStateException. If you using getter and setter with JPA in your spring this can be done :
Optional<ClassName> validUuid = NameObjectofYourJPARepo.findByUuid(YourClassName.getUuid());
if(!validUuid.isPresent()) {
throw new IllegalStateException("404 not found");
}
I hope this can answer your problem

How to get Swagger UI to display similar Spring Boot REST endpoints?

I have a controller class with two endpoints
#RestController
#RequestMapping
public class TestController {
#RequestMapping(
value= "/test",
method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public String getTest() {
return "test without params";
}
#RequestMapping(
value= "/test",
params = {"param"},
method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public String getTest(#PathParam("param") int param) {
return "test with param";
}
}
One has a parameter, one doesn't, and the both work.
If I use curl or a web browser to hit the endpoints
http://localhost:8081/test
returns
test without params
and
http://localhost:8081/test?param=1
returns
test with param
but the swagger ui only shows the one without a parameter.
If I change the value in the request mapping for the request with a parameter to
#RequestMapping(
value= "/testbyparam",
params = {"param"},
method = RequestMethod.GET)
Swagger UI displays both endpoints correctly, but I'd rather not define my endpoints based on what swagger will or won't display.
Is there any way for me to get swagger ui to properly display endpoints with matching values, but different parameters?
Edit for Clarification:
The endpoints work perfectly fine; /test and /test?param=1 both work perfectly, the issue is that swagger-ui won't display them.
I would like for swagger ui to display the endpoints I have defined, but if it can't, then I'll just have to live with swagger-ui missing some of my endpoints.
Edit with reference:
The people answering here: Proper REST formatted URL with date ranges
explicitly say not to seperate the query string with a slash
They also said "There shouldn't be a slash before the query string."
The issue is in your Request Mapping, The second method declaration is overriding the first method. As Resource Mapping value is same.
Try changing the second method to below. As you want to give input in QueryParam rather than path variable, you should use #RequestParam not #PathParam.
Note that you have to give /test/, In order to tell Spring that your mapping is not ambiguous. Hope it helps.
#RequestMapping(
value= "/test/",
method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public String getTest (#RequestParam("param") int param) {
return "test with param"+param;
}
Upon reading clarifications, the issue here is that swagger-ui is doing the correct thing.
You have two controller endpoints, but they are for the same RESOURCE /test that takes a set of optional query parameters.
Effectively, all mapped controller endpoints that have the same method (GET) and request mapping (/test) represent a single logical resource. GET operation on the test resource, and a set of optional parameters which may affect the results of invoking that operation.
The fact that you've implemented this as two separate controller endpoints is an implementation detail and does not change the fact that there is a single /test resource that can be operated upon.
What would be the benefit to consumers of your API by listing this as two separate endpoints in swagger UI vs a single endpoint with optional parameters? Perhaps it could constrain the set of allowed valid query parameters (if you set ?foo you MUST set &bar) but this can also be done in descriptive text, and is a much more standard approach. Personally, I am unfamiliar with any publicly documented api that distinguishes multiple operations for the same resource differentiated by query params.
As per Open API Specification 3
OpenAPI defines a unique operation as a combination of a path and an
HTTP method. This means that two GET or two POST methods for the same
path are not allowed – even if they have different parameters
(parameters have no effect on uniqueness).
Reference - https://swagger.io/docs/specification/paths-and-operations/
This was also raised as an issue but it was closed because OAS3 doesn't allow that -
https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc-openapi/issues/859
Try including the param in the path as below.
#GetMapping("/test/{param}")
public String getTest(#PathVariable final int param) {
return "test with param";
}
I'm unclear exactly what you're attempting to do, but I'll give two solutions:
If you want to have PATH parameters e.g. GET /test & GET /test/123 you can do:
#GetMapping("/test")
public String getTest() {
return "test without params";
}
#GetMapping("test/{param}")
public String getTest(#PathVariable("param") int param) {
return "test with param";
}
If you want query parameters (GET /test and GET /test?param=123) then you need a single endpoint that takes an optional parameter:
#GetMapping("test")
public String getTest(#RequestParam("param") Integer param) {
if(param == null) {
return "test without params";
} else {
return "test with param";
}
}

Using postman raw testing spring-boot controller failed

Here is the controller:
Here is the postman:
Via form-data, I can get caseId in my controller.
But raw with header, I can't.
I don't know why... Is there anything wrong with my controller ?
Please help, thanks.
edit 1:
Yeah. Add something more
We know, springMVC will bind data for us, but when we use POST request and put data in body via raw and Content-Type:application/json, spring will still bind data? request.getInputStream() will only call once.
edit 2:
I found a way to get the raw.
get the json string.
edit in 11/29/2017
I found that:
Post with raw, I need to use #RequestBody to recive the value.
Here are the example of how to retrieve data using POSTMAN and bind with SpringMVC
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<List<User>> listAllUsers() {
List<User> users = userService.findAllUsers();
if (users.isEmpty()) {
return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT);
// You many decide to return HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND
}
return new ResponseEntity<List<User>>(users, HttpStatus.OK);
}
You may refer to this article : Spring Boot Rest API Example
Can u bind request param as below and check :
public Object getTcaseByCaseId(#RequestParam("caseId") String caseId) {

Spring MVC test post method with controller redirect

I have a test:
#Test
public void shouldAddCompany() throws Exception {
mockMvc.perform(post("/companies")
.param("name", "companyName"))
.andExpect(model().attribute("company",
hasProperty("name", is("companyName"))));
}
and my controller method looks like that:
#PostMapping("/companies")
public String displayCompaniesPost(#ModelAttribute Company company) {
companyService.save(company);
return "redirect:/companies";
}
How can i check company attribute in test? There is a problem because of redirect and status 302.
java.lang.AssertionError: Model attribute 'company'
Expected: hasProperty("name", is "companyName")
but: was null
I think it occurs because controller is going to GET method because of redirection. When I remove this redirection everything is ok, but I don't want to remove that redirection.
EDIT (GetMapping):
#GetMapping({"/", "/companies"})
public String displayCompanies(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("company", new Company());
List<Company> companies = companyService.findAll();
model.addAttribute("companies", companies);
return "companies";
}
I thought the problem is because of addding attribute with the same name in getMapping, but when I removed it, it still doesn't work.
You need to modify your approach. If you POST to a controller method, and it returns a Redirect you will have no ability to access any model information set by that controller, it just returns an HTTP 302 with a Location Header to the client telling it the new url to go to (in this case GET /companies). If this is a strictly Unit test, that is the extent of what you can test for this method.
I would consider instead treating this as an integration test, and change your test to have two separate steps:
POST /companies and validate that the response is the expected redirect
GET /companies and validate that the list of companies returned contains the new company you posted in step 1

Why I can't redirect from a Spring MVC controller method to another controller method?

I am pretty new in Spring MVC and I have some problem trying to redirect to a controller method after that another controller method terminate its execution.
So I have the following situation. Into a controller class I have this method that correctly handle POST request toward the validaProgetti resource:
#RequestMapping(value = "validaProgetti", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody String validaProgetti(#RequestBody List<Integer> checkedRowList) {
System.out.println("ID progetti da aggiornare: " + checkedRowList);
List<Twp1007Progetto> progettiDaValidare = new ArrayList<Twp1007Progetto>();
for (int i=0; i<checkedRowList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println("ID PROGETTO: " + checkedRowList.get(i));
progettiDaValidare.add(progettoService.getProgetto(checkedRowList.get(i)));
}
progettoService.validaProgetti(progettiDaValidare);
return "redirect:ricercaValidazione";
}
So this method is correctly mapped and when the validaProgetti resource is called it is executed.
At the end of this method I don't return a view name that render a JSP page but I have to redirect to another method (that do something and render a JSP page). So, instead to return a view name, I redirect toward another resource:
return "redirect:ricercaValidazione";
Then in the same controller class I have declared this method that handle request toward this ricercaValidazione resource:
#RequestMapping(value = "ricercaValidazione", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String ricercaValidazione(#ModelAttribute ConsultazioneFilter consultazioneFilter, Model model, HttpServletRequest request) {
RicercaConsultazioneViewObject filtro = null;
try {
filtro = new ObjectMapper().readValue(request.getParameter("filtro"), RicercaConsultazioneViewObject.class);
filtro.setSelStatoProgetto(3); // Progetti da validare
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error(e);
}
consultazioneFilter = new ConsultazioneFilter(filtro);
model.addAttribute("consultazioneFilter", consultazioneFilter);
model.addAttribute("listaProgetti", new ListViewObject<Twp1007Progetto>(progettoService.getListaProgettiConsultazione(consultazioneFilter)) );
return "validazione/tabellaRisultati";
}
The problem is that it can't work and after the redirection can't enter into the ricercaValidazione() method.
I think that maybe the problem is that this ricercaValidazione() method handle POST request toward the ricercaValidazione resource and the return "redirect:ricercaValidazione"; maybe generate a GET request.
But I am not sure about it.
Why? What am I missing? How can I solve this issue?
Tnx
the redirect and fordward prefix are for resolving views; you are tring to redirect from one controller to another one. This can be done but redirect works in the following way
A response is sent to the browser with the redirect http status code and and url
The browser loads via GET the request URL
Your Spring controller (and the corresponding ammping method) is invocated if it matches the annotation params
From what you write I'm not sure this is what you really want; as you already noted there is a mismatch between HTTP methods (GET vs POST).
Your second method ricercaValidazione expects a filtro param in order to filter some data, but in the validaProgetti there is nothing similar, so it seems that the two controllers are not directly chainable. If what you want is to display a page after validaProgetti that shows a form and the the user can submit it you must add a method annotated with a method GET and url ricercaValidazione; the new method must return the view containing the form; which points via POST to url of validaProgetti. In this way you can redirect from ricercaValidazione to validaProgetti
Give mapping name of your controller with redirect like
redirect:/controll-mapping_name/ricercaValidazione

Unable to redirect from one controller to another controller-Spring MVC

RequestMapping doesn't redirect

#RequestMapping(value = "/{Id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String searchCity( #PathVariable ("Id") Long Id) {
mymethod.something(id);
return "successpage";
}
When I'm trying to write some number it print me Eror 404 resource is not available, but when I write {Id} ("7DId7D" smthing like this) it redirects me to succespage, What is the problem? Help me please...
The information you provided conflicts with known behavior of Spring MVC
http://localhost:8080/MyCountryProject/7 should maps to searchCity fine
http://localhost:8080/MyCountryProject/%7Bld%7D should not even map to searchCity
I would check following to further isolate the problem:
Are you sure you're testing against the right controller? If your controller has #RequestMapping("myController") then your URL would be http://localhost:8080/MyCountryProject/MyController/7
Are you sure you're posting with the correct HTTP method? If you're HTTP form is POST, it wouldn't map to searchCity method
The conversion from string into Long is done by Spring MVC builtin property editor, did you install your own property editor? If so debug this
