Am sending data from JSP to controller using query string.
My controller is annotation driven.
The value of the the request parameter should be case-insensitive.
The method which i use for welcome page is
public String welcome(#RequestParam("orgID") String orgID, ModelMap model)
The request parameter "orgID" should be case insensitive. How to do this ?.
I should be able to give the query-string as "orgid" or "orgId". The parameter should be completely case-insensitive. Looking for your help friends.
Thanks in Advance :-)
Another approach would be to have two parameters "orgId" and "orgid" and have the optional.
public String welcome(#RequestParam(value="orgID", required = false) String org_ID, #RequestParam(value="orgid", required=false, String orgid, ModelMap model) {
final String orgId = orgid == null ? org_ID : orgid;
...
}
But if you have control over the parameters I would strongly prefer to just have one consistent way, say org-id and follow it both in the client and the server side.
It might be nice for Spring to support this, but I can also understand why they wouldn't since it could result in a weakening of an interface contract between a supplier and consumer. In the meantime, here's a fairly straightforward way to take the first value using the parameter name regardless of its case.
String myVal = null;
for (String pname : request.getParameterMap().keySet() ) {
if ( pname != null && pname.toLowerCase().equals("your_lc_pname") ) {
for (String v : request.getParameterValues(pname) ) {
// do something with your value(s)
}
}
}
in Spring 4.2+
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages="org.saat")
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configurePathMatch(PathMatchConfigurer configurer) {
AntPathMatcher matcher = new AntPathMatcher();
matcher.setCaseSensitive(false);
configurer.setPathMatcher(matcher);
}
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new
InternalResourceViewResolver();
viewResolver.setPrefix("/");
viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return viewResolver;
}
}
You'll have to try changing the way Spring matches your urls . You could for one, create a filter (probably a DelegatingFilterProxyBean) to lower case your parameter before you pass it on to Spring or try to change the way the paths are matched .
An explanation to the second options is given at How can I have case insensitive URLS in Spring MVC with annotated mappings .
The simplest way I found was to change the controller method to take a Map with a single key value pair as a parameter and then convert the key to lowercase.
public String welcome(#RequestParam(required = true) Map<String, String> params, ModelMap model) {
String caseInsensitiveOrgId = params.keySet().toArray()[0].toString().toLowerCase();
String OrgValue = params.values().toArray()[0];
// Do whatever you want here
}
There is a simple workaround.You can operate directly on the HttpServletRequest and use method getParameter() and check all versions of parameter.
public String welcome(HttpServletRequest request, ModelMap model){
String orgID = extractOrgId(request);
//rest of your code
}
private String extractOrgId(HttpServletRequest request){
if(request.getParameter("orgId") != null){
return request.getParameter("orgId");
}
// and so on
}

I am integrating with a third-party's vendor API.
I have a SpringBoot and Jackson setup
They are sending me a POST request that is of type formUrlEncoded and with the params in snake_case
(over 10 params in total and no body)
e.g.
POST www.example.com?player_id=somePlayerId&product_id=someProductId&total_amount=totalAmount...
There are many out of the box helpers for JSON but I cannot find any for formUrlEncoded (I hope I am missing something obvious).
I have tried #ModelAttribute and #RequestParam but had no luck.
I am trying to avoid the #RequestParam MultiValueMap<String, String> params + custom mapper option
#RequestParam is the simplest way which allows you to define the exact name of the query parameter something like:
#PostMapping
public String foo(#RequestParam("player_id") String playerId){
}
If you want to bind all the query parameters to an object , you have to use #ModelAttribute. It is based on the DataBinder and is nothing to do with Jackson. By default it only supports binding the query parameter to an object which fields have the same name as the query parameter. So you can consider to bind the query paramater to the following object :
public class Request {
private String player_id;
private String product_id;
private Long total_amount;
}
If you really want to bind to the object that follow traditional java naming convention (i.e lower camel case) from the query parameter that has snake case values , you have to cusomtize WebDataBinder.
The idea is to override its addBindValues() and check if the query parameter name is in snake case format , convert it the lower camel case format and also add it as the bind values for the request. Something like :
public class MyServletRequestDataBinder extends ExtendedServletRequestDataBinder {
private static Converter<String, String> snakeCaseToLowerCamelConverter = CaseFormat.LOWER_UNDERSCORE
.converterTo(CaseFormat.LOWER_CAMEL);
public MyServletRequestDataBinder(Object target) {
super(target);
}
public MyServletRequestDataBinder(Object target, String objectName) {
super(target, objectName);
}
#Override
protected void addBindValues(MutablePropertyValues mpvs, ServletRequest request) {
super.addBindValues(mpvs, request);
Enumeration<String> paramNames = request.getParameterNames();
while (paramNames != null && paramNames.hasMoreElements()) {
String paramName = paramNames.nextElement();
if(paramName.contains("_")) {
String[] values = request.getParameterValues(paramName);
if (values == null || values.length == 0) {
// Do nothing, no values found at all.
} else if (values.length > 1) {
mpvs.addPropertyValue(snakeCaseToLowerCamelConverter.convert(paramName), values);
} else {
mpvs.addPropertyValue(snakeCaseToLowerCamelConverter.convert(paramName), values[0]);
}
}
}
}
}
P.S I am using Guava for helping me to convert snake case to lowerCamelCase.
But in order to use the customized WebDataBinder , you have to in turn customize WebDataBinderFactory and RequestMappingHandlerAdapter because :
customize WebDataBinderFactory in order to create the customised WebDataBinder
customize RequestMappingHandlerAdapter in order to create the WebDataBinderFactory
Something like:
public class MyServletRequestDataBinderFactory extends ServletRequestDataBinderFactory {
public MyServletRequestDataBinderFactory(List<InvocableHandlerMethod> binderMethods,
WebBindingInitializer initializer) {
super(binderMethods, initializer);
}
#Override
protected ServletRequestDataBinder createBinderInstance(Object target, String objectName,
NativeWebRequest request) throws Exception {
return new MyServletRequestDataBinder(target, objectName);
}
}
and
public class MyRequestMappingHandlerAdapter extends RequestMappingHandlerAdapter {
#Override
protected InitBinderDataBinderFactory createDataBinderFactory(List<InvocableHandlerMethod> binderMethods)
throws Exception {
return new MyServletRequestDataBinderFactory(binderMethods, getWebBindingInitializer());
}
}
And finally register to use the customised RequestMappingHandlerAdapter in your configuration :
#Configuration
public class Config extends DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration {
#Override
protected RequestMappingHandlerAdapter createRequestMappingHandlerAdapter() {
return new MyRequestMappingHandlerAdapter();
}
}
I don't think you are missing anything. Looking at the RequestParamMethodArgumentResolver#resolveName source I do no see a way to customize how a request parameter is matched. So it looks either you have to implement your own resolver or just annotate each parameter with #RequestParam and provide the name, e.g. #RequestParam("product_id") String productId
EDIT:
As for ModelAttribute, ModelAttributeMethodProcessor uses WebDataBinder. Again you can customize it with your custom DataBinder but I didn't found any that out of the box supports aliases as Jackson does.
I want to create a page where a person sees a list of users and there are check boxes next to each of them that the person can click to have them deleted.
In my MVC that consumes a REST API, I want to send a List of User objects to the REST API.
Can the #RequestParam annotation support that?
For example:
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.DELETE, value = "/delete")
public #ResponseBody Integer delete(
#RequestParam("users") List<Users> list) {
Integer deleteCount = 0;
for (User u : list) {
if (u != null) {
repo.delete(u);
++deleteCount;
}
}
return deleteCount;
}
In the MVC client, the url would be:
List list = new ArrayList<User>();
....
String url = "http://restapi/delete?users=" + list;
Request parameters are a Multimap of String to String. You cannot pass a complex object as request param.
But if you just pass the username that should work - see how to capture multiple parameters using #RequestParam using spring mvc?
#RequestParam("users") List<String> list
But I think it would be better to just use the request body to pass information.
Spring mvc can support List<Object>, Set<Object> and Map<Object> param, but without #RequestParam.
Take List<Object> as example, if your object is User.java, and it like this:
public class User {
private String name;
private int age;
// getter and setter
}
And you want pass a param of List<User>, you can use url like this
http://127.0.0.1:8080/list?users[0].name=Alice&users[0].age=26&users[1].name=Bob&users[1].age=16
Remember to encode the url, the url after encoded is like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/list?users%5B0%5D.name=Alice&users%5B0%5D.age=26&users%5B1%5D.name=Bob&users%5B1%5D.age=16
Example of List<Object>, Set<Object> and Map<Object> is displayed in my github.
Just a reminder, any List of custom objects might require custom converters to be registered, like:
#Bean
public Converter<String, CustomObject> stringToCustomObjectConverter() {
return new Converter<>() {
#Override
public CustomObject convert(String str) {
return new ObjectMapper().readValue(str, CustomObject.class);
}
};
}
#Bean
public Converter<String, List<CustomObject>> stringToListCustomObjectConverter() {
return new Converter<>() {
#Override
public List<CustomObject> convert(String str) {
return new ObjectMapper().readValue(str, new TypeReference<>() {
});
}
};
}
So you can cover custom cases like:
/api/some-api?custom={"name":"Bla 1","age":20}
/api/some-api?custom={"name":"Bla 1","age":20}&custom={"name":"Bla 2","age":30}
/api/some-api?custom=[{"name":"Bla 1","age":20},{"name":"Bla 2","age":30}]
where: #RequestParam("custom") List customObjects
Suppose a hyperlink is clicked and an url is fired with the following parameter list myparam=myValue1&myparam=myValue2&myparam=myValue3 . Now how can I capture all the parameters using #RequestParam in spring mvc?
My requirement is I have to capture all the params and put them in a map.
Please help!
#RequestMapping(value = "users/newuser", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String saveUser(#RequestParam Map<String,String> requestParams) throws Exception{
String userName=requestParams.get("email");
String password=requestParams.get("password");
//perform DB operations
return "profile";
}
You could use RequestParam in the above mentioned manner.
It seems you can't get
Map<String,String>
because all your params have same name "myparam"
Try this instead:
public ModelAndView method(#RequestParam("myparam") List<String> params) { }
To get all parameters at once try this:
public ModelAndView postResultPage(#RequestParam MultiValueMap<String, String> params)
This feature is described in the #RequestParam java doc (3. Paragraph):
Annotation which indicates that a method parameter should be bound to a web request parameter. Supported for annotated handler methods in Servlet and Portlet environments.
If the method parameter type is Map and a request parameter name is specified, then the request parameter value is converted to a Map assuming an appropriate conversion strategy is available.
If the method parameter is Map<String, String> or MultiValueMap<String, String> and a parameter name is not specified, then the map parameter is populated with all request parameter names and values.
As of Spring 3.0, you can also use MultiValueMap to achieve this:
A rudimentary example would be:
public String someMethod(#RequestParam MultiValueMap<String,String> params) {
final Iterator<Entry<String, List<String>>> it = params.entrySet().iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
final String k = it.next().getKey();
final List<String> values = it.next().getValue();
}
return "dummy_response";
}
If anyone is trying to do the same in Spring Boot, use RequestBody in place of RequestParam
Spring mvc can support List<Object>, Set<Object> and Map<Object> param, but without #RequestParam.
Take List<Object> as example, if your object is User.java, and it like this:
public class User {
private String name;
private int age;
// getter and setter
}
And you want pass a param of List<User>, you can use url like this
http://127.0.0.1:8080/list?users[0].name=Alice&users[0].age=26&users[1].name=Bob&users[1].age=16
Remember to encode the url, the url after encoded is like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/list?users%5B0%5D.name=Alice&users%5B0%5D.age=26&users%5B1%5D.name=Bob&users%5B1%5D.age=16
Example of List<Object>, Set<Object> and Map<Object> is displayed in my github.
You can use for multiple Params as such
public String saveUser(#RequestParam("email") String userName, #RequestParam("password") String password) throws Exception{
//your code
//perform DB operations
return "profile";
}
For params with same name, you can use MultiValueMap<String ,String>. Then all the values would be present as List
You can use multiple #RequestParam annotations as shown below.
#RequestParam(value="myparam1", required = true) <Datatype> myparam1,
#RequestParam(value = "myparam2", required = false) <Datatype> myparam2,
I am doing a Spring web. For a controller method, I am able to use RequestParam to indicate whether a parameter it is required or not. For example:
#RequestMapping({"customer"})
public String surveys(HttpServletRequest request,
#RequestParam(value="id", required = false) Long id,
Map<String, Object> map)
I would like to use PathVariable such as the following:
#RequestMapping({"customer/{id}"})
public String surveys(HttpServletRequest request,
#PathVariable("id") Long id,
Map<String, Object> map)
How can I indicate whether a path variable is required or not? I need to make it optional because when creating a new object, there is no associated ID available until it is saved.
Thanks for help!
VTTom`s solution is right, just change "value" variable to array and list all url possibilities: value={"/", "/{id}"}
#RequestMapping(method=GET, value={"/", "/{id}"})
public void get(#PathVariable Optional<Integer> id) {
if (id.isPresent()) {
id.get() //returns the id
}
}
There's no way to make it optional, but you can create two methods with one having the #RequestMapping({"customer"}) annotation and the other having #RequestMapping({"customer/{id}"}) and then act accordingly in each.
I know this is an old question, but searching for "optional path variable" puts this answer high so i thought it would be worth pointing out that since Spring 4.1 using Java 1.8 this is possible using the java.util.Optional class.
an example would be (note the value must list all the potential routes that needs to match, ie. with the id path variable and without. Props to #martin-cmarko for pointing that out)
#RequestMapping(method=GET, value={"/", "/{id}"})
public void get(#PathVariable Optional<Integer> id) {
if (id.isPresent()) {
id.get() //returns the id
}
}
VTToms answer will not work as without id in path it will not be matched (i.e will not find corresponding HandlerMapping) and consequently controller will not be hit. Rather you can do -
#RequestMapping({"customer/{id}","customer"})
public String surveys(HttpServletRequest request, #PathVariable Map<String, String> pathVariablesMap, Map<String, Object> map) {
if (pathVariablesMap.containsKey("id")) {
//corresponds to path "customer/{id}"
}
else {
//corresponds to path "customer"
}
}
You can also use java.util.Optional which others have mentioned but it requires requires Spring 4.1+ and Java 1.8..
There is a problem with using 'Optional'(#PathVariable Optional id) or Map (#PathVariable Map pathVariables) in that if you then try to create a HATEOAS link by calling the controller method it will fail because Spring-hateoas seems to be pre java8 and has no support for 'Optional'. It also fails to call any method with #PathVariable Map annotation.
Here is an example that demonstrates the failure of Map
#RequestMapping(value={"/subs","/masterclient/{masterclient}/subs"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public List<Jobs> getJobListTest(
#PathVariable Map<String, String> pathVariables,
#RequestParam(value="count", required = false, defaultValue = defaultCount) int count)
{
if (pathVariables.containsKey("masterclient"))
{
System.out.println("Master Client = " + pathVariables.get("masterclient"));
}
else
{
System.out.println("No Master Client");
}
//Add a Link to the self here.
List list = new ArrayList<Jobs>();
list.add(linkTo(methodOn(ControllerJobs.class).getJobListTest(pathVariables, count)).withSelfRel());
return list;
}
I know this is an old question, but as none of the answers provide some updated information and as I was passing by this, I would like to add my contribution:
Since Spring MVC 4.3.3 introduced Web Improvements,
#PathVariable(required = false) //true is default value
is legal and possible.
#RequestMapping(path = {"/customer", "/customer/{id}"})
public String getCustomerById(#PathVariable("id") Optional<Long> id)
throws RecordNotFoundException
{
if(id.isPresent()) {
//get specific customer
} else {
//get all customer or any thing you want
}
}
Now all URLs are mapped and will work.
/customer/123
/customer/1000
/customer - WORKS NOW !!
Hi,
I've got two methods in my controller and I'm trying to get one method to fire if a parameter is a certain value and the other method if the parameter is not that value. My "not" method is firing when the param equals the certain value.
According to (my understanding of) this I'm writing the expression correctly. Here are the signatures of the two methods:
#RequestMapping(value = "/doit", params= {"output=grouped", "display!=1"})
public #ResponseBody HashMap<String, Object> doSomething(
#RequestParam("text") String text,
#RequestParam("display") String display)
{
// this method runs if display=1 but why?
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/doit", params= {"output=grouped", "display=1"})
public #ResponseBody HashMap<String, Object> doSomethingElse(
#RequestParam("text") String text)
{
// this method is not being called when display=1...why not?
}
I have Spring debug logging enabled and I see where Spring converts the parameter to a RequestParam String with value '1'. In the very next line, though, it decides to map it to the wrong method.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
It is not your fault: it is a Bug SPR-8059. At the moment it is fixed in Version 3.1M2 and svn Trunk rev 4408.
A workaround would be not to use != in #RequestMapping. Instead you have to do it with an if by hand:
#RequestMapping(value = "/doit", params= {"output=grouped")
public #ResponseBody HashMap<String, Object> acceptAll(
#RequestParam("text") String text,
#RequestParam("display") String display) {
if("1".equals(display) {
return doSomethingElse(text);
} else {
return doSomething(text,display);
}
}
