URL redirection in Apache CXF JAX / RS call

Question

How to make a jax / rs call with path parameters with a slash embedded in it?

@DELETE
@Path("/extended/universal/{CID}")
@Produces( { XML, JSON })
public Response deleteCID( @PathParam("CID") String cId ) throws Exception
{
}

Here {CID} contains a string sometimes like - urn: cid: URI: http://example.com: 80001 / index.html

I'm running out of ideas, intercepting and redirecting to a changed URL is not an option. Please let me know if Apache CXF provides any recommendations on this issue.

Thanks, Srikanth

By default, path components do not write slashes. You can override this by explicitly providing a regex that says the fragment should match. In your case, use this path:

@Path("/extended/universal/{CID:.+}")

, CID. , + a *.
