javax.websocket.server
Annotation Type WebSocketPathParam

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=PARAMETER)
public @interface WebSocketPathParam

This annotation may be used to annotate method parameters on server side web socket POJOs where a URI-template has been used in the path-mapping of the WebSocketEndpoint annotation. The method parameter may be of type String, any Java primitive type or any boxed version thereof. If a client URI matches the URI-template, but the requested path parameter cannot be decoded, then the websocket's error handler will be called.

For example:-



@WebSocketEndpoint("/bookings/{guest-id}");
public class BookingServer {



@WebSocketMessage
public void processBookingRequest(@WebSocketPathParam("guest-id") String guestID, String message, Session session) {
// process booking from the given guest here
}
}

For example:-



@WebSocketEndpoint("/rewards/{vip-level}");
public class RewardServer {



@WebSocketMessage
public void processReward(@WebSocketPathParam("vip-level") Integer vipLevel, String message, Session session) {
// process reward here
}
}
