JAX-RS @QueryParam and @DefaultValue annotations example


This page gives you an example using JAX-RS @QueryParam and @DefaultValue annotations, which injects value from request parameters 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 RESTEasy hello world example.
Restful web services using Jersey hello world example.

Look at the below class to apply @QueryParam annotation: You have two query parameters here: dept and branch.

package com.java2novice.restful;

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

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

	@GET
	@Path("/query")
	public Response getEmployeeQuery(@QueryParam("dept") String department,
									@QueryParam("branch") String branch){
		String resp = "Query parameters are received. 'dept' value is: "
						+department+" and branch value is: "+branch;
		
		return Response.status(200).entity(resp).build();
	}
}

In the above example, if you use "/employee/query?branch=hydrabad&dept=finance" URI pattern with query parameters, getEmployeeQuery() method will be invoked, and you will get "Query parameters are received. 'dept' value is: finance and branch value is: hydrabad" as a response.

How to assign default values to method input variables if the query parameters are not available? You can use @DefaultValue annotation to specify default value.

package com.java2novice.restful;

import javax.ws.rs.DefaultValue;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

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

	@GET
	@Path("/query")
	public Response getEmployeeQueryDefault(
					@DefaultValue("accounts") @QueryParam("dept") String department,
					@DefaultValue("bangalore") @QueryParam("branch") String branch){
		String resp = "Query parameters are received. 'dept' value is: "
						+department+" and branch value is: "+branch;
		
		return Response.status(200).entity(resp).build();
	}
}

In the above example, if you use "/employee/query" URI pattern, and you will get "Query parameters are received. 'dept' value is: accounts and branch value is: bangalore" as a response.

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

What is servlet context?
The servlet context is an interface which helps to communicate with other servlets. It contains information about the Web application and container. It is kind of application environment. Using the context, a servlet can obtain URL references to resources, and store attributes that other servlets in the context can use.
