JavaEE Web API 8.0.1 · javax.ws.rs.QueryParam

public @Interface QueryParam

Binds the value(s) of a HTTP query parameter to a resource method parameter, resource class field, or resource class bean property. Values are URL decoded unless this is disabled using the Encoded annotation. A default value can be specified using the DefaultValue annotation. The type T of the annotated parameter, field or property must either:

Be a primitive type
Have a constructor that accepts a single String argument
Have a static method named valueOf or fromString that accepts a single String argument (see, for example, Integer#valueOf(String))
Have a registered implementation of javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider JAX-RS extension SPI that returns a javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.
Be List<T>, Set<T> or SortedSet<T>, where T satisfies 2, 3 or 4 above. The resulting collection is read-only.

If the type is not one of the collection types listed in 5 above and the query parameter is represented by multiple values then the first value (lexically) of the parameter is used.

Because injection occurs at object creation time, use of this annotation on resource class fields and bean properties is only supported for the default per-request resource class lifecycle. Resource classes using other lifecycles should only use this annotation on resource method parameters.

Method Detail

value	back to summary
public String value() Defines the name of the HTTP query parameter whose value will be used to initialize the value of the annotated method argument, class field or bean property. The name is specified in decoded form, any percent encoded literals within the value will not be decoded and will instead be treated as literal text. E.g. if the parameter name is "a b" then the value of the annotation is "a b", not "a+b" or "a%20b".
