Restlet routing with query string

Question

I have a resource that currently is routed like this:

router.attach("/{version}/content/{language}", ContentResource.class);

I want to add to this resource a query string that will look something like this:

router.attach("/{version}/content/{language}?segment={segment}", ContentResource.class);

The thing is, that when I try to get to the resource with the routing, I fail to get into it.

Can someone explain why and how to solve it?

You don't have to specify query parameters at the route definition level. If you want to use a query parameter named segment, here is the way to do:

• Route definition

  router.attach("/{version}/content/{language}", ContentResource.class);
  

• Get query parameter value

  public class ContentResource extends ServerResource {
      String value = getQueryValue("segment");
      (...)
  }
  

Hope it helps you, Thierry
