i am trying to call a hcm rest end point using jersey

https:///resources/11.12.1.0/emps?q=FirstName like 'Astha'

I get the below exception

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    at java.net.URI.create(URI.java:842)
    at com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client.resource(Client.java:434)
..
Caused by: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 93: https://<my-hcm-url>/resources/11.12.1.0/emps?q=FirstName like 'Astha'

    at java.net.URI.<init>(URI.java:578)
    at java.net.URI.create(URI.java:840)
    ... 3 more

So I tried encoding the url

try {
    URL = URLEncoder.encode(URL, "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

But this gives me 

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not absolute
    at com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionClientHandler.handle(URLConnectionClientHandler.java:155)

    at com.sun.jersey.client.urlconnection.URLConnectionClientHandler.handle(URLConnectionClientHandler.java:153)

Simple query parameters with '=' works fine withour encoding and all ..like /emps?q=FirstName='Astha' But I want to use 'like' operator which requires space in the url. How to make it work ? Please help

I tried replacing the space with %20 and + as discussed in the Spaces in URLs?. It did not work for me. It does not give any result.

The hcm rest end point api is available here https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/global-human-resources/r13-update17d/farws/Querying_a_Collection.html

Has anybody used this api earlier? If yes, how to call the below from java using jersey?

/resources/latest/emps?q=FirstName like 'Ki%'

  • I have updated the question with additional details. The answers given in the duplicate question did not work for me in my use case – Priya Darsini Jun 19 '18 at 06:04
  • If you “tried replacing the space” please update your code to show what you tried. – Dour High Arch Jun 19 '18 at 16:05
  • Found the problem The problem is with the header. I need to add a header "REST-Framework-Version" with value 3. Once it is added, it worked. WebResource resource = c.resource(ENDPOINT_URL); String response = resource.queryParams(queryParams).header("REST-Framework-Version",3).get(String.class); – Priya Darsini Aug 02 '18 at 08:18
