Hi Robert
Apologies it took me so long to reply :-), only today I had a chance to look
into this issue.
What happens is that it is JAXRS the spec which is partially 'interfering'.
Basically, when one says
@QueryParam("id") List<Long> ids
what it means is that queries like
?id=1&id=2&id=3
are expected to be deal with with the list (in this example) containing 1,
2, 3 (and similarly for Set). I've also added a support for arrays like
Long[].
Thus, when the runtime sees
@QueryParam("id") List<Long> ids
or
@QueryParam("id") Long[] ids
it is parsing a query string into a usual name/value pairs and then tries to
convert each *individual* value of matching pairs (with the name equal to
'id' in this example) into Long (in this example), thus
ParameterHandler<Long[]> will not be checked.
It is only the case for collections/arrays where ParameterHandlers are not
visible.
So given the above and that you'd like this format be accepted :
>> /getEffectiveBid?offerIds=1;2;3;4
then what you might want to do, instead of registering a custom
ParameterHandler, is to register a custom RequestHandler input filter which
will overwrite a Message.QUERY_STRING Message property :
String query = (String)message.get(Message.QUERY_STRING);
if (query != null) {
String[] pair = query.split("=");
if (pair[0].equals("offerIds")) {
String[] ids = pair[1].split(";");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < ids.length; i++) {
sb.append(pair[0]).append("=").append(ids[i]);
if (i + 1 < ids.length) {
sb.append("&");
}
}
message.put(Message.QUERY_STRING, sb.toString());
}
}
this will let you to have signatures like
@QueryParam("id") Long[] ids
and queries like
/getEffectiveBid?offerIds=1;2;3;4
at a fairly low cost
hope it helps, Sergey
