RESTFUL Web Service using multiple arguments - jax-rs

Question

I have a class with my getters and setters, containing values, for example:
String value1;
String value2;
double result;
I want to use these two strings to determine what should happen with the result. If value1 equals "one" and value2 = "two" then the result should be multiplied by a predefined value.
#GET
#Path("/{value1}/{value2}/{result}")
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
public double getResult() {
Something mon = new Something();
mon.setOne(22.2);
mon.setTwo(11.1);
if("/{value1}".equals("one")){
//multiply by mon.setOne;
}
return 0;
}
How do I read and access the values defined in the path?

Answer 1

If you want to receive the values as path parameters (like /foo/one/two/something), you can use #PathParam:
#GET
#Path("/foo/{value1}/{value2}/{result}")
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
public double getResult(#PathParam("value1") String value1,
#PathParam("value2") String value2,
#PathParam("result") String result) {
...
}
But, depending on what you intend to do, you could consider using query parameters (like /foo?value1=one&value2=two&result=something) with #QueryParam:
#GET
#Path("/foo")
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
public double getResult(#QueryParam("value1") String value1,
#QueryParam("value2") String value2,
#QueryParam("result") String result) {
...
}

First of all you should use a unique API name I used /GetResult then put the parameter.
#GET
#Path("/GetResult/{value1}/{value2}/{result}")
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
public double getResult(
#PathParam(value = "value1") String value1,
#PathParam(value = "value2") String value2,
#PathParam(value = "result") String result) {
if (value1.equals("one")) {
}
return 0;
}
