B4J Question Getting the request params from the url

[coldflame]

Hi @aeric , I was going through your WebApi templates and I noticed that you implemented the /api/v1/products/{productId} pattern. Can you please work me through it please??
I am building an api without using the WebApi templates(I have gone a bit far in the project).
Thanks

Getting the request params from the url

Sub Class_Globals
    Private Request As ServletRequest
End Sub

Request.RequestURI      ' Returns the request URL without the host and any parameters
Request.FullRequestURI  ' Returns the full request URL including the scheme, host and parameters

May be it is just a bad definition but the parameters in an URL comes after the question mark ? and they are pair of key and values. the best way to get them is:

   dim parameters as map =  req.ParameterMap

if what you want is the embbeded id inside the URL then aeric answer is correct.

You are right. I just realized I have misunderstood the question.

If the URL is like http://localhost:8080/web/api/v1/products/?id=3, then you can get the value of id by:

Dim id As String = Request.GetParameter("id")
