programmatically add parameters to URL java

Question

i have a java application in which i want to programmatically add URL parameters to a given base url, instead of string manipulation to form a url. i have heard that URIBuilder is the way to go, though I have not been able to get that class or the maven repository to that class anywhere? is that the way to go or is there any other method to get that done?

EDIT: i have heard of using apache http client utils URIBuilder and not the javax.ws URIBuilder class

which java version u are using i am able to find see the link docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder.html — Deepak

Drop this dependency in your pom to get UriBuilder:

 <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsr311-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version><!-- Select the version you want here -->
 </dependency>

More info: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.ws.rs/jsr311-api

The Apache version is part of the httpcomponents:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.1</version>
</dependency>

More info: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.httpcomponents/httpclient/

not the class i have heard of using. have heard that URIBuilder class of apache http client utils is the way to go

@user2739737 I have added the URIBuilder from apache.

Gaurav Sood Over a year ago

i tried that repo. i was still unable to get the URIBuilder class.

@user2739737 What is a repo for you? org.apache.http.client.utils.URIBuilder is located in this dependency.

Gaurav Sood Over a year ago

i could not find the class URIBuilder within org.apache.http.client.utils

You can use java.net.URL to create a URL. The set() method allows you to set query parameters.

i could not find the set() method anywhere, though it has an addParameter() method. i'll try that. just one question: how to set the host/base url of the Url?

afzalex Over a year ago

set() method in java.net.URL is not public. you cannot use in your package.
