I have a POST API as below:

@POST
@Path("/api/analysis/s3file/{filename}")
@Produces("application/json")
public Response analysis(@PathParam("filename") String filename, @RequestParam(value = "errorDesc", required = false, defaultValue  ="true") String errorDesc) ()

However i am unable to fetch the request param 'errorDesc' when i invoke this API like http://localhost:8080/MyApp/api/analysis/s3file/abc.zip?errorDesc=true.

When i print the value of the string errorDesc, i see that its being the value of the request payload (eg: ------WebKitFormBoundaryEu2iBOEbKojgV3wO--)

Could someone help me resolve the issue. I had checked related questions but was unable to identify the issue.

try changing `String errorDesc` content with `boolean errorDesc` – Arvind Katte Dec 27 '17 at 07:56
@ArvindKatte: Yes, i did try that but no luck. – AsteriK Dec 27 '17 at 08:42

Are you using jax-rs or spring as it looks you are mixing annotations from both frameworks - it should be `@QueryParam` for jax-rs instead of `@RequestParam`. – user158037 Dec 27 '17 at 10:49
@user158037 Yes my bad. I realized that i used the wrong annotation sometime back. Thanks a lot! – AsteriK Dec 27 '17 at 11:50
