How to retrieve params from GET HTTP method using javax.ws.rs.* and Glassfish?

Question

I just installed Glassfish V2 on my local machine just to play around with it.

I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve a param passed in by the GET HTTP method.

For instance,

http://localhost:8080/HelloWorld/resources/helloWorld?name=ABC

How do I retrieve the "name" param in my Java code?

Answer 1

Like this:

@Path("/helloWorld")
@Consumes({"application/xml", "application/json"})
@Produces({"application/xml", "application/json"})
@Singleton
public class MyService {
 @GET
 public String getRequest(@QueryParam("name") String name) {
         return "Name was " + name;
 }
}

Answer 2

By putting:

@Context
private UriInfo context;

in your HelloWorld class, can you access the

context.getQueryParameters() ;

method to get a map of parameters?

Seems to suggest you can :)
