Re: Invalid character found in the request target TomEE 10.0.1

Hello


*>> if you insist on GET, you need to correctly encode the json into a
query parameter.*

I still would like to use GET instead of POST ( Since the  args  submitted
is  Processing ,Filtering   the data on return , It has nothing to persist

Could u suggest on correcting to encode the Json into the Query Parameter

Json  fetched from UI

{  "searcharg": "jakarta.ws.rs.ext.Provider",  "folderfilepatharg":
"F:/TOOLS/APACHEMAVEN/MAVEN-REPO",   "searchextnarg" : "jar",
"searchstartno": 120, "searchendno": 150 }

on the Controller the method defined is as follows used to  prefilter args
to process

@GET

@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

@Path("/SearchBeanGet")

public SearchZipJarBean getSearchBean(SearchZipJarBean srchBean) {

loggerlog.info("Pre Process " + srchBean.toString());

....

loggerlog.info("Post Process " + srchBean.toString()); return srchZpjra
.getSrchBean();

}

with regards
