How to get PathVariable (String) in a Controller method

@RequestMapping(value = "/user/search/{email}")
    public String auditUseremail(@PathVariable("email") String email,Map<String, Object> map) {

        System.out.println(email);
}

this is my conroller class function, which is called when the action is http://localhost:8080/LACASServer/secure/user/search/user@cohaesus.co.uk

as u can look, email is in URL, but when i print it in the above method, i get it user@cohaesus.co, can anybody tell me, what can be the issue and how to resolve it.

Solution

  • I think you should use URL Encoding for this path and then decode it inside of controller

    java.net.URLEncoder.encode(email, "ISO-8859-1");
