https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/QueryParam.html

Annotation Type QueryParam
----------cut----------

https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/Encoded.html

Annotation Type Encoded
----------cut----------
Disables automatic decoding of parameter values bound using QueryParam, PathParam, FormParam or MatrixParam. Using this annotation on a method will disable decoding for all parameters. Using this annotation on a class will disable decoding for all parameters of all methods.

MyApplicationConfig.java

 


(1) Access following URLs.
    http://localhost:7001/ParamEncodeTest/rs/encoded/on?param=++::
    http://localhost:7001/ParamEncodeTest/rs/encoded/on/++::

RESULT

case1 : http://localhost:7001/ParamEncodeTest/rs/encoded/on?param=++::
    -> ++::
case2 : http://localhost:7001/ParamEncodeTest/rs/encoded/on/++::
    -> ++::
