Restexpress support MatrixParam it?

[loui...@gmail.com]

My project  register route with uri  "services/test/{id}/detail"，then the server start successfully。

When i access this url with matrix param like "127.0.0.1:8081/services/test/1/detail;param1=1"，

I found restexpress can not match the uri registered before.

I think UrlPattern can not support matrix parameters from path.

Could you please point out the mistakes here?

Thank you.

You are correct. RestExpress does not support matrix parameter parsing. As I understand it, matrix parameters are not a standard--just a design idea from Tim Berners-Lee.

As far as a work around (other than the obvious switch to query-string parameters), you could write your own regex for the URL. Or you could supply multiple routes to the same controller method like this:

server.url("/services/test/1/detail", controller)

  .method(GET);

server.url("/services/test/1/detail;{detailMatrix}", controller)

  .method(GET);

I believe that would work, then you could parse the detailMatrix parameters in your controller method.

Hopefully that works for you,
