[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-2916) getSerlvetPath() truncates path at the first semicolon

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2916?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Rossen Stoyanchev edited comment on WFLY-2916 at 2/27/14 11:07 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the references I could find in the Servlet 3.1 spec: Section 3.1: bq. Path parameters that are part of a GET request (as defined by HTTP 1.1) are not exposed by these APIs. They must be parsed from the String values returned by the getRequestURI method or the getPathInfo method Section 12.1: bq. The path used for mapping to a servlet is the request URL from the request object minus the context path and the path parameters. And the Javadoc for getServletPath(): {noformat} * Returns the part of this request's URL that calls * the servlet. This path starts with a "/" character * and includes either the servlet name or a path to * the servlet, but does not include any extra path * information or a query string. {noformat} It does say path parameters should be removed but it doesn't say the path should be truncated. Truncating makes getServletPath useless. Since the Servlet API still does not provide any way to find out how a Servlet is mapped, trying to determine the actual path to use for mapping purposes can be tricky and involves checking all of: getRequestUri(), getServletPath(), and getPathInfo(). Truncation makes this determination even harder. was (Author: rstoyanchev): These are the references I could find in the Servlet 3.1 spec: Section 3.1: bq.
