I've a very simple Spring MVC application, for example:
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/rest")
public class MyController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/endpointA"}
public @ResponseBody ResponseObject endpointA() {
return something;
}
}
The endpoint method should be mapped to the URL: "/rest/endpointA", but it is invoked also for "/%20rest/endpointA", "/rest /endpointA" and any form of leading and/or trailing whitespaces.
Why is it, and is there a way to enforce an exact match of the URL to "/rest/endpointA", in terms of "/%20rest/endpointA" would result in a 404 Not Found response by Tomcat.
Thanks
