Jersey DELETE request with a query parameter

Question

I'm trying to create an HTTP endpoint to delete a property but I'd like to add some additional metadata about who is performing the delete. I have the following server side code in Jersey.

@DELETE @Path("/properties/{property_id}?deleted_by={deleted_by}") public Response deleteProperty( @PathParam("property_id") int propertyId, @QueryParam("deleted_by") String deletedBy) { ... }

However when I try to hit the endpoint with a url like /properties/123?deleted_by=test I get a 404. If I delete the query parameter everything works as intended. Does Jersey not support query parameters for DELETE or am I messing something up?

Make sure on the client side you are sending an http Delete request — Dimitri

You don't have to mention the query parameter in the path annotation. Just the following should be fine:

@DELETE @Path("/properties/{property_id}") public Response deleteProperty( @PathParam("property_id") int propertyId, @QueryParam("deleted_by") String deletedBy) { ... }

The Jersey documentation has an additional example.
