MatrixVariables do not work [SPR-11036]

[spring-projects-issues]

Alexander Czar opened SPR-11036 and commented

Matrix Variables do not work in versions beyond 3.2.2 (e.g. 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5 snapshot).
I created a project on GitHub which illustrates the issue. The project is attached as URL reference to this report.

You need to explicitly enable use of matrix variables in request mappings. See #14867 and it is also in the documentation. In your case something like this:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan("io.czar.spring.bugreport.springmatrixvars.controllers")
public class WebConfig  extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {

	@Override
	public RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping() {
		RequestMappingHandlerMapping hm = super.requestMappingHandlerMapping();
		hm.setRemoveSemicolonContent(false);
		return hm;
	}

}

Thanks. I thought it is set by default when I extend WebMvcConfigurationSupport, documentation is a bit ambiguous.

Alexander, the doc that shipped with 4.0.0 was indeed a bit confusing but this has been fixed meanwhile. #15955 will further improve this section.
