Java EE 7 Application Developer — Question 61

Which URL represents an invalid approach to pass a parameter to a REST resource?

Answer options

• A. <base-url>/Employees?value=1
• B. <base-url>/Employees&value=1
• C. <base-url>/Employees/1
• D. <base-url>/Employees;value=1

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is incorrect because it uses a semicolon instead of a question mark or ampersand to pass parameters, which is not a valid syntax in RESTful conventions. Options A and B are valid ways to send parameters using query strings, and option C represents a valid path parameter.
