Question

I’m developing a REST web service in which I use a ID in the URL to specify a patient, like this:

WS/services/patient/1

Where “1” is the id of the patient. So, in the code, I specified like this:

@GET
@Path("{id}")
public void getPatient(@PathParam("id") int cId) {
...
}

I saw it in one example, but mine is failing. I’m getting this error:

com.sun.jersey.api.container.ContainerException: Method, public void PresentationLayer.PatientResource.getPatient(int), annotated with GET of resource, class PresentationLayer.PatientResource, is not recognized as valid Java method annotated with @HttpMethod.

I don’t know why is doing this. In the example I saw it worked. Any hints?

EDIT: If I dont write the @PathParams(“id”), it works… but then, how can I get the id from the url?

Answer 1

com.sun.jersey.api.container.ContainerException: Method, public void PresentationLayer.PatientResource.getPatient(int), annotated with GET of resource, class PresentationLayer.PatientResource, is not recognized as valid Java method annotated with @HttpMethod.

You are trying to service a GET request using a method that returns no response (return type void).
