JAX-RS @Path annotation with regular expression match example


This page gives you an example using JAX-RS @Path annotation, how to bind a URI pattern to your java method using regular expression match.

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 @Path annotation with regular expression to your method:

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: [0-9]+}")
	public Response getEmployeeById(@PathParam("empId") String empId){
		
		return Response.status(200).entity("Got employee with id : " + empId).build();
	}
	
	@GET
	@Path("/name/{empName: [a-zA-Z\\s]+}")
	public Response getEmployeeByName(@PathParam("empName") String name){
		
		return Response.status(200).entity("Got employee with name : " + name).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.

If you use "/employee/name/javanovice" URI pattern, then getEmployeeByName() method will be invoked and you will get "Got employee with name : javanovice" as a response.

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

Knowledge Centre
What is adapter class?
An adapter class provides the default implementation of all methods in an event listener interface. Adapter classes are very useful when you want to process only few of the events that are handled by a particular event listener interface. You can define a new class by extending one of the adapter classes and implement only those events relevant to you.
