Spring MVC @PathVariable dot(.) get truncated Example

Date: 2019-01-21

This tutorial demonstrates how to resolve the issue of Spring MVC's @PathVariable annotation truncating strings containing dots. The problem occurs when a URI parameter with a dot (e.g., "xxx.xx") is passed; the portion after the last dot is removed. The solution involves creating a Spring MVC application (using Maven, Eclipse, and Tomcat) with a controller that correctly handles such parameters. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions, including project setup, configuration files (pom.xml, web.xml, mydispatcher-servlet.xml), controller code, and JSP views. The corrected controller avoids truncation, allowing the full parameter value to be processed.
