Set Query Parameters on a Jersey Test Call

Question

I have a Jersey based Java servlet:

@Path("foo")
class Foo {
  @GET
  @Path("bar")
  public Response bar(@QueryParam("key") String value) {
    // ...
  }
}

I can call it in Tomcat just fine as:

http://localhost:8080/container/foo/bar?key=blah

However, in my JerseyTest, using Grizzly, it's not handling the parameters properly. This test case returns a 404 error:

@Test
public void testBar() {
  final Response response = target("foo/bar?key=blah").request().get();
}

I suspect the issue is it's looking for a resource named foo/bar?key=blah rather than trying to pass key=blah to the resource at foo/bar. If I pass just "foo/bar" to target(), I get a 500, as the code throws an exception for a null parameter.

I looked through the Jersey Test documentation, and some examples, and I found some cryptic looking stuff that might have been for passing parameters to a GET, but none of it looked like it was assigning values to parameters, so I wasn't positive how I would use it.

How can I pass my value in for that parameter?

JavaDoc to WebTarget.queryParam() should give you an answer to your problem. Basically you need to transform your code to something like:

target("foo/bar").queryParam("key", "blah").request().get()
