To easily manipulate URLs / path / params / etc., you can use Spring’s UriComponentsBuilder class to create a URL template with placehoders for the parameters, then provide the value for those parameters in the RestOperations.exchange(...)
call. It’s cleaner than manually concatenating strings and it takes care of the URL encoding for you:
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
HttpEntity<?> entity = new HttpEntity<>(headers);
String urlTemplate = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl(url)
.queryParam("msisdn", "{msisdn}")
.queryParam("email", "{email}")
.queryParam("clientVersion", "{clientVersion}")
.queryParam("clientType", "{clientType}")
.queryParam("issuerName", "{issuerName}")
.queryParam("applicationName", "{applicationName}")
.encode()
.toUriString();
Map<String, ?> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("msisdn", msisdn);
params.put("email", email);
params.put("clientVersion", clientVersion);
params.put("clientType", clientType);
params.put("issuerName", issuerName);
params.put("applicationName", applicationName);
HttpEntity<String> response = restOperations.exchange(
urlTemplate,
HttpMethod.GET,
entity,
String.class,
params
);
