Encoded slash (/) with Spring RequestMapping path param gives HTTP 400

Question

This is not a duplicate referenced question, because it is Spring specific. Whoever added that (3 years after the fact!) didn\'t bother to read the question or comment

Answer 1

This could be your answer: urlencoded Forward slash is breaking URL

I would suggest not putting that in the path, move it to a request param instead.

Work around:

You could change the RequestMapping to

@RequestMapping(value = "/ws/stuff/lookup/resourceId/**", method = RequestMethod.GET) 

and then parse the path variables manually from the request object.
