ClientForwardController intercepts request but he should not

[maiido]

Hi,

I think, I found a minor issue in ClientForwardController. By the way JHipster rocks !

Overview of the issue

@GetMapping(value = "/**/{path:[^\\.]*}")

With that configuration of ClientForwardController,

And with a controller with this configuration

@RequestMapping("/api")

...

@GetMapping("/{one}/{two}/{three}/{four}/{five}") public ResponseEntity<String> getValue( @PathVariable(name = "one") int one, @PathVariable(name = "two") int two, @PathVariable(name = "three") int three, @PathVariable(name = "four") int four, @PathVariable(name = "five") int five ) { return ResponseEntity.ok("hello world"); }

With this request : http://localhost:8080/api/1/2/3/4/5

I don't enter into my function getValue, it's ClientForwardController which intercepts the request.

If i remove "five" pathVariable, I enter into the function getValue. a bit strange !

Suggest a Fix

@GetMapping(value = "/{path:[^\\.]*}")

Remove "/**" at start like the case communicationSpringWebsocket in ClientForwardController.java.ejs and getValue works with 5 pathVariable
