Escaping url based parameter in Spring MVC

This is a curly one. But I've built an autosuggester component that uses a url based lookup in Spring MVC.

I've got a minor bug where I can't search by the email address because of some sort of HTTP Converter problem.

This doesn't work http://localhost:8080/admin/customers/json/customer_suggest/[email protected]

This does work http://localhost:8080/admin/customers/json/customer_suggest/[email protected]

It's not a string length issue because any length string as soon as I added .com on the end returns a 406 response.

There is a stacktrace in the logs, but I can't tell what the issue is by looking at it.

Can anyone advise what's wrong? and potentially how to fix it? Is it an escaping thing?

When the path is ending with .something, string interprets it as a file extension, and as of 3.2 version it by default tries to find the proper representation based on the extension. I believe that this is your case, and it complains that it cannot find any mime type registered with com extension.

You have the solutions discussed here Spring MVC @PathVariable with dot (.) is getting truncated, one way forward is to have your mapping accept dot so something like /admin/customers/json/customer_suggests/{variable:.+} or turn of file extension content negotiation, if you're using XML config something like

    <beans:bean id="contentNegotiationManager"
                class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
       <beans:property name="favorPathExtension" value="false"/>
    </beans:bean>

    <!-- Enables the Spring MVC @Controller programming model -->
    <annotation-driven conversion-service="conversionService" enable-matrix-variables="true" content-negotiation-manager="contentNegotiationManager">
    ...
   </annotation-driven>
