Creating a path for a jersey resource

Question

If I want to get projects for userid= 1 then my url looks like

https://localhost:8080/proj_name/api/user/1/projects

How should I construct my resource path if I want to get projects not associated with a particular user id? Any suggestions? Should it be like this or something else?

https://localhost:8080/proj_name/api/projects?excludeUserId = 1

You could use ne operator of rql (resource query language).

is there a java implementation of rql? – Karu Apr 11 '18 at 15:36
There’s an rql parser for java https://github.com/jirutka/rsql-parser but I have never personally used it before. – Sarah Micallef Apr 11 '18 at 20:20

I went ahead and referred this post How can I pass complex objects as arguments to a RESTful service?

I used option 2 from the answer posted on the above stackoverflow post and ended up having urls like

https://localhost:8080/proj_name/api/projects
https://localhost:8080/proj_name/api/projects?filter={"equalUserId":"1"}
https://localhost:8080/proj_name/api/projects?filter={"notEqualUserId":"1"}
