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

For spring boot application this worked for me..

Version 1 Add

org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true

to your application.properties file

Version 2 run your spring boot application like this.

static void main(String[] args) {
    System.setProperty("org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH", "true");
    SpringApplication.run this, args
}

Version 3 or run your java application with -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true

This fixed %2F encoded slash path variable for me.
