Okay - I think this is an issue / bug V2.2.7 In org.apache.cxf.transport.http.AbstractHTTPDestination.setupMessage() - line 322 : inMessage.put(Message.QUERY_STRING, req.getQueryString());
HttpServletRequest.getQueryString() is called to put the query string into the message, that is propagated through the CXF stack However the tomcat 6 and Jetty implementations of getQueryString() strip all characters after and including a "#" in the query string Hence if a request has /blah?uri=http://some.uri/#thing&hello=world The query string set in the message is only uri=http://some.uri/ so both the uri fragment and any following query parameters are lost. The use of getQueryString is thus application server dependant and cannot be relied upon to get the query string accurately Big issue for me - as I am building a large semantic web, web service where many resource URIs being passed around have #fragments in them to indicate predicates and class types.

Given the method signature : @GET @Path("/resource") public Response getResource(@QueryParam("uri")String resourceURI) if the request is: GET /resource?uri=http://some.resource.uri/blah#thing The value set in the resourceURI String variable is "http://some.resource.uri/blah"; not " http://some.resource.uri/blah#thing"; This also occurs if an additional query param is passed in the request, e.g. GET /resource?uri=http://some.resource.uri/blah#thing&hello=1 I am using CXF 2.2.7 - is this a bug ? I can see no valid reason for stripping the uri #fragment Thanks Paul This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
