Rest Api in Spring with parameter as a email id giving HTTP status 406

Question

 @RequestMapping(value = "/analyst/getcompany/{user}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
        public String getEmail(@PathVariable String user) {
    //logic
    }

when requesting this URI with:

"analyst/getcompany/Abc@gmail.com"

It is giving HTTP Status 406.

I encode the @ with %40 but {.} in the email id is creating a problem. how to handle this?

This answer will help you. Path variable truncate after dot - annotation

You have to add trailing slash at the end of the path variable after name like

@RequestMapping(value ="/analyst/getcompany/{user}/")

The Request like

http://localhost:8080/analyst/getcompany/Abc@gmail.com/

I found that it is advisable not to use trailing slash because it is not maintainable, if found that @ and .c,.co are accepted but .com is giving 406. for eg. abc@gmail.co,abc@gmail.ss are accepted but abc@gmail.com is not working as the suffix .com is the real cause. – Prashant Kumar Oct 13 '17 at 06:44
