I am using Spring framework to create api. I want two urls defined at the class level
@RequestMapping({"/jobs","/subs"})
and I want to call method 1 when the url is /host:port/jobs
and I want to call method 2 when the url is /host:port/subs
Is there a way to do this ?
I could remove the mapping at the class level and define it on the method level but I do not want to do that as I don't want to have to define the mapping for all the other methods.
You can use @PathVariable
@RequestMapping(value = "/{whichOne}") public class someController { @RequestMapping public ResponseObject someMethod(@PathVariable("whichOne") String whichOne) { switch (whichOne) { case "jobs": return resolveJobs(); case "subs": return resolveSubs(); } } }
But I don't recommend you to do that. Two methods with two request mappings is correct way to go.
I don't want to have to define the mapping for all the other methods.
What do you mean? Just like any other class, You can have methods in the controller class which doesn't map to any URL pattern.
I think there is some flaw in the design here. I would rather add this mapping at the method level and have 2 separate methods handle this.
It is really ugly, but you can do it with this trick:
@Controller
@RequestMapping({ "/jobs", "/subs" })
public class MyController {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String get(HttpServletRequest request) {
String url = request.getRequestURI().toString();
if (url.endsWith("jobs")) { // or contains
return getJobs(request);
}
// subs
return getSubs(request);
}
private String getJobs(HttpServletRequest request) {
[...]
return "jobs";
}
private String getSubs(HttpServletRequest request) {
[...]
return "subs";
}
}
RequestMappingfor each method.
