JAX-RS @PathParam annotation example


This page gives you an example using JAX-RS @PathParam annotation, which injects value from URI to your method input parameters.

In the previous examples we have given details of application setup, dependencies, web.xml file configurations: If you want to know about these configuration, please refer these:

Restful web services using Jersey hello world example.

Look at the below class to apply @PathParam annotation:

package com.java2novice.restful;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

@Path("/employee")
public class EmployeeService {

	@GET
	@Path("{empId}")
	public Response getEmployeeById(@PathParam("empId") String empId){
		
		return Response.status(200).entity("Got employee with id : " + empId).build();
	}
	
	@GET
	@Path("{branch}/{department}")
	public Response getEmployeeList(@PathParam("branch") String branchName,
									@PathParam("department") String deptName){
		
		String resp = "Total number of employees in the "+deptName+" department from "
						+branchName+" is 100";
		return Response.status(200).entity(resp).build();
	}
}

In the above example, if you use "/employee/123" URI pattern, getEmployeeById() method will be invoked, and you will get "Got employee with id : 123" as a response.

Using @PathParam, you can access multiple values as well. Look at getEmployeeList() method in the above example, if you use "/employee/bangalore/accounts" URI pattern, then getEmployeeByName() method will be invoked and you will get "Total number of employees in the accounts department from bangalore is 100" as a response.

In the next page you will see an example on how to use @QueryParam annotation.

When to use LinkedList or ArrayList?
Accessing elements are faster with ArrayList, because it is index based. But accessing is difficult with LinkedList. It is slow access. This is to access any element, you need to navigate through the elements one by one. But insertion and deletion is much faster with LinkedList, because if you know the node, just change the pointers before or after nodes. Insertion and deletion is slow with ArrayList, this is because, during these operations ArrayList need to adjust the indexes according to deletion or insetion if you are performing on middle indexes. Means, an ArrayList having 10 elements, if you are inserting at index 5, then you need to shift the indexes above 5 to one more.
