java - How to handle requests that includes forward slashes (/)? -

i need handle requests following:

www.example.com/show/abcd/efg?name=alex&family=moore   (does not work) www.example.com/show/abcdefg?name=alex&family=moore   (works) www.example.com/show/abcd-efg?name=alex&family=moore   (works) 

it should accept sort of character value located between www.example.com/show/ , ?. please note value located there single value not name of action.

for example: /show/abcd/efg , /show/lkikf?name=jack in first request should redirect user page abcd/efg (because thats name) , second 1 should redirect user page lkikf along value of parameter name.

i have following controller handle issue when have / in address controller unable handle it.

@requestmapping(value = "/{mystring:.*}", method = requestmethod.get) public string handlereqshow(             @pathvariable string mystring,             @requestparam(required = false) string name,             @requestparam(required = false) string family, model model)     { 

i used following regex did not work.

 /^[ a-za-z0-9_@./#&+-]*$/ 

you have create 2 methods 1 having @requestmapping(value = { "/{string:.+}" }) annotation , other having @requestmapping(value = { "/{string:.+}", "/{string:.+}/{mystring:.+}" }) , act accordingly in each, because can't have optional path variables.

import org.springframework.stereotype.controller; import org.springframework.ui.model; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.pathvariable; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.requestmapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.requestparam;  @controller @requestmapping("/show") public class hellocontroller {      @requestmapping(value = { "/{string:.+}" })     public string handlereqshow(@pathvariable string string,             @requestparam(required = false) string name,             @requestparam(required = false) string family, model model) {         system.out.println(string);         model.addattribute("message", "i called!");         return "hello";     }      @requestmapping(value = { "/{string:.+}", "/{string:.+}/{mystring:.+}" })     public string whatever(@pathvariable string string,             @pathvariable string mystring,             @requestparam(required = false) string name,             @requestparam(required = false) string family, model model) {         system.out.println(string);         system.out.println(mystring);         model.addattribute("message", "i called!");         return "hello";     } }
