Java Regex to Match URL

I need to create Regexes to match URLs of the following forms
/collected/{deliveryId}/deliverer/{userId}
/customer/{userId}/status/active
/users/{userId}/role
Where delivery-id and user-id are UUIDs in the form of: 124r23452-124234234-123123423534 and the other string parts are constant.
For the first one I tried something like this but didnt work:
String urlRegex = "[a-zA-Z-]*/collected/deliverer/(?=\\S*[-])([a-zA-Z-]+)";

You can try this pattern : \/collected\/\w{0,9}\/deliverer\/\w{0,} and use https://regex101.com/ web site. This wikipedia page, gives also some good details on regex.

Rest assured : Illegal character in path

I am using response retrieved from one endpoint as path param in another endpoint.
However, when used in URI, it throws java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path.
//Post the endpoint
Response resp2 = RestAssured.given().
pathParam("id", build).
log().all().
when().urlEncodingEnabled(false).post("https://abc/{id}");
This is because the value of id used in uri is with double quotes like :-
https://abc/"id".
How can I get rid of these double quotes so as to use the value of id in uri , please advise.

First talk to the developer about this, because the nature of path param (/{id}) is to be replaced by a legitimate value (not enclosed in quotes); something like https://abc/23 or https://abc/param
I would not suggest any work-around for this as this is implemented in a wrong way from REST end point definition. You might go ahead and raise a defect against this.

Taking a shot in the dark here because I feel like the issue could possibly be coming from how you're getting the string from that response. If you're pulling it from a JSON using GSON or similar:
String name = myResponseJsonObject.get("member_name")
System.out.Println(name);
will print
"John"
whereas
String name = myResponseJsonObject.get("member_name").getAsString()
System.out.Println(name);
will give you
John
A small detail but this has tripped me up when using GSON and others when working with JSONs in java.

Thank you John and Mohan for your time , I really appreciate it.
I resolved this issue yesterday evening using Stringof function which removed the double quotes and provided me the String like value.

How to get an xsp value from URL link using Java

I am trying to retrieve the page name(.xsp)from the URL of the current page using Java. i have been able to accomplish the same thing with the Javascript below
context.getUrl().getSiteRelativeAddress(context).toString()
and it works but i want to get the same thing don using Java.

The best way to get SSJS variable names via Java is resolveVariable. This should work:
XSPContext context = (XSPContext) ExtLibUtil.resolveVariable(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), "context");
String pageName = context.getUrl().getSiteRelativeAddress(context).toString();
(Updated with correct syntax for second line, thanks Knut)

Why doesn't this Java regex compile?

I am trying to extract the pass number from strings of any of the following formats:
PassID_132
PassID_64
Pass_298
Pass_16
For this, I constructed the following regex:
Pass[I]?[D]?_([\d]{2,3})
-and tested it in Eclipse's search dialog. It worked fine.
However, when I use it in code, it doesn't match anything. Here's my code snippet:
String idString = filename.replaceAll("Pass[I]?[D]?_([\\d]{2,3})", "$1");
int result = Integer.parseInt(idString);
I also tried
java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("Pass[I]?[D]?_([\\d]{2,3})")
in the Expressions window while debugging, but that says "", whereas
java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("Pass[I]?[D]?_([0-9]{2,3})")
compiled, but didn't match anything. What could be the problem?

Instead of Pass[I]?[D]?_([\d]{2,3}) try this:
Pass(?:I)?(?:D)?_([\d]{2,3})

There's nothing invalid with your tegex, but it sucks. You don't need character classes around single character terms. Try this:
"Pass(?:ID)?_(\\d{2,3})"

get all values using get paremeters in java

I'm passing the some values url from flex to java example:
URL format:
../mahesh/initUser.do?method=fwdAccDetails&securityId=mUuB3/p/ky5JhZPY5T8Znf01YCcIarIalQiGEXPMMsOkWDX+KtT4fx2gMML+uup8
After I'm tiring to get "securityId" values in java like
request.getParameter("securityId")
But I'm getting following values only
mUuB3/p/ky5JhZPY5T8Znf01YCcIarIalQiGEXPMMsOkWDX KtT4fx2gMML uup8
symbol getting empty space in java side..
Here is my Flex code:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('../mahesh/initUser.do?method=fwdAccDetails&securityId='+value+'),'_s‌​elf');
I didn't get full values.. any one can help me how I will get correct values in Java..

You should use the encodeURIComponent()-Function to properly encode your securityId.
value = encodeURIComponent(value);
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('../mahesh/initUser.do?method=fwdAccDetails&securityId='+value+'),'_s‌​elf');
That way your String will be correct on the Java side.
If you want to read more about proper escaping, have a look at When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent? (Same arguments apply for Flex and JavaScript).

i just resolve my issue for following code in a javURLDecoder.decode(param1AfterEncoding.replace("+", "%2B"), "UTF-8").replace("%2B", "+")
Now its working fine only.. i dint other special character will work fine.. i will check it later..
