JAX-RS: %3B in Path Parameter results in 404 response

[antalus <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a simple resource class

@Path("{id}")
public class TestResource {
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response test(@PathParam("id") String id){
        final String result = String.format("Received PathParam: '%s'", id);
        System.out.println(result);
        return Response.ok().entity(result).build();
    }
}

When I do the GET request with path "/hello%3B" the response is:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: text/xml
Allow: GET,OPTIONS,HEAD
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 08:17:40 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Server: Jetty(6.1.26)

But what I expect from this request is that method test() is invoked with
"hello;" string as parameter.
So I think the problem is with encoded semi-colon %3B. Other encoded special
symbols seem to work as expected. 

Is such behavior a bug?

Environment:
CXF 2.3.3
JDK 6 update 24
Jetty 6.1.26 (via Maven plugin)

It was a bug which is now fixed (CXF-3403, CXF-3404). First, the use of
HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo() for determining the base request URI was
problematic because the decoded value was returned and the matrix parameters
were lost on the last path segment - I added the workaround a long time ago
but it fails with %3B being decoded too. Another problem was in the JAX-RS
code itself, to do with decoding the PathParm values too early...

Thanks for reporting this issue...

Sergey

I'll write a test and get back to you asap.
