RestTemplate: How to send URL and query parameters together

Viewed 214735

I am trying to pass path param and query params in a URL but I am getting a weird error. below is the code

    String url = "http://test.com/Services/rest/{id}/Identifier"
    Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
    params.put("id", "1234");
    UriComponentsBuilder builder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url)
                                        .queryParam("name", "myName");
    String uriBuilder = builder.build().encode().toUriString();
    restTemplate.exchange(uriBuilder , HttpMethod.PUT, requestEntity,
                    class_p, params);

and my url is becoming http://test.com/Services/rest/%7Bid%7D/Identifier?name=myName

what should I do to make it work. I am expecting http://test.com/Services/rest/{id}/Identifier?name=myName so that params will add id to the url

please suggest. thanks in Advance

An issue with the answer from Michal Foksa is that it adds the query parameters first, and then expands the path variables. If query parameter contains parenthesis, e.g. {foobar}, this will cause an exception.

The safe way is to expand the path variables first, and then add the query parameters:

String url = "http://test.com/Services/rest/{id}/Identifier";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("id", "1234");
URI uri = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url)
        .buildAndExpand(params)
        .toUri();
uri = UriComponentsBuilder
        .fromUri(uri)
        .queryParam("name", "myName")
        .build()
        .toUri();
restTemplate.exchange(uri , HttpMethod.PUT, requestEntity, class_p);

One-liner using TestRestTemplate.exchange function with parameters map.

restTemplate.exchange("/someUrl?id={id}", HttpMethod.GET, reqEntity, respType, ["id": id])

The params map initialized like this is a groovy initializer*

String url = "http://test.com/Services/rest/{id}/Identifier";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("id", "1234");
URI uri = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url)
        .buildAndExpand(params)
        .toUri();
uri = UriComponentsBuilder
        .fromUri(uri)
        .queryParam("name", "myName")
        .build()
        .toUri();
restTemplate.exchange(uri , HttpMethod.PUT, requestEntity, class_p);

The safe way is to expand the path variables first, and then add the query parameters:

For me this resulted in duplicated encoding, e.g. a space was decoded to %2520 (space -> %20 -> %25).

I solved it by:

String url = "http://test.com/Services/rest/{id}/Identifier";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("id", "1234");
UriComponentsBuilder uriComponentsBuilder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url);
uriComponentsBuilder.uriVariables(params);
Uri uri = uriComponentsBuilder.queryParam("name", "myName");
        .build()
        .toUri();
restTemplate.exchange(uri , HttpMethod.PUT, requestEntity, class_p);

Essentially I am using uriComponentsBuilder.uriVariables(params); to add path parameters. The documentation says:

... In contrast to UriComponents.expand(Map) or buildAndExpand(Map), this method is useful when you need to supply URI variables without building the UriComponents instance just yet, or perhaps pre-expand some shared default values such as host and port. ...

Source: https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/util/UriComponentsBuilder.html#uriVariables-java.util.Map-

One simple way to do that is:

String url = "http://test.com/Services/rest/{id}/Identifier"

UriComponents uriComponents = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url).build();
uriComponents = uriComponents.expand(Collections.singletonMap("id", "1234"));

and then adds the query params.

Below is the working code, I had to pass two values in the respective placeholders while making the query parameter.

String queryParam = "Key=Project_{ProdjectCode}_IN_{AccountCode}"

Map<String, String> queryParamMap = new HashMap<>();
queryParamMap.put("ProjectCode","Project1");
queryParamMap.put("AccountCode","Account1");

UriComponents builder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl("http://myservice.com/accountsDetails").query(queryParam).buildAndExpand(queryParamMap);

restTemplate.exchange(builder.toUriString(), HttpMethod.GET,httpEntity,MyResponse.class);

Above code will make a GET call to url http://myservice.com/accountsDetails?Key=Project_Project1_IN_Account1
