Multiple requestmapping value with path variables

Question

@RequestMapping(value = {\"/abcd\", \"/employees/{value}/{id}\"})
public String getEmployees(
      @PathVariable(value = \"value\") String val, 
      @PathVariable(val         


        

Answer 1

You can now have optional path variables via support for Java 8 Optional. At least Spring version 4.x will be required.

@RequestMapping({"/abcd", "/employees/{value}/{id}"})
public String getEmployees(
    @PathVariable("value") Optional val, 
    @PathVariable("id") Optional id,
    @RequestParam("param") Optional value
) {
    // ********
}

N.B. this doesn't work with the optional primitives (OptionalInt, etc.).
