How to correctly select Java 21 Distributions?

[marchof]

While updating https://javaalmanac.io for the Java 21 I encountered the following issue. If I search with the following query:

https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/packages?version=21&package_type=jdk&latest=available

I get mostly Graal implementations (which is currently 21.x.y). So I tried the parameter java_version instead, as the README.md suggests:

https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/packages?java_version=21&package_type=jdk&latest=available

Unfortunetelly this leads to an 504 Gateway Time-out.

My questions are:

• What is the correct way to query for Java feature version 21?
• Is there still an OpenAPI / Swagger frontend to see the API documentation?

I re-discovered the swagger-ui. Some more insights:

• Looks like the java_version parameter mentioned in README.md does not exist.
• Whenever you specify a unknown parameter a 504 Gateway Time-out is returned after some time.

I’m sure Gerrit will investigate and report back here soon.

Will take a look at it as soon as I’ll have some time, thx for the report 👍🏻

Looks like jdk_version is now magically working the the 503 responses are gone:

https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/packages?jdk_version=21&package_type=jdk&latest=available

@HanSolo Can you confirm this is the correct way to go?
