@Ref and @QueryParam

I am using Jersey 1.11.1 in GlassFish and I am trying to return a URI that has an @QueryParam.

For example I want the returned URI to look something like:

<bar>http://car.com/star?param=XYZ</bar>

I have the basic @Ref like this:

@Ref(
    resource=Foo.class,
    style = Ref.Style.ABSOLUTE,
    bindings={}
)
@XmlElement
private URI bar;

but for the life of me I cannot figure out if there is a way to add the query param in there or not.

If it is possible how? If it isn't possible any suggestions on what to do instead?

Solution

  • Looks like it is not supported as of yet: http://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-6881

    The jersey-server-linking module lacks of support for query parameters.

Example:
@Ref(
   value="books?page=${instance.page - 1}",
   condition="${instance.page > 0}",
   style=Style.ABSOLUTE
)
@XmlElement
URI previous;

The ? will be encoded as %3F. So it is not possible to add any query parameters to links generated by the @Ref annotation.
