java - How to add query string parameters with Spring HATEOAS? -

i'm trying generate link search resources. so, want create resource provides link search:

post /resourcesearch {param1: "value1",param2:"value2"} 

the response should be:

{"links":[   {     "rel":"self",     "href":"http://localhost:8080/resourcesearch"   },   {     "rel":"resources",     "href":"http://localhost:8080/resources?param1=value1&param2=value2"   } } 

here code:

@controller @requestmapping("/resourcesearch") public class resourcesearchcontroller{   @requestmapping(method = requestmethod.post)    public responseentity<resourcesupport> createresourcesearch(@requestbody resourcedto dto){     resourcesupport resource = new resourcesupport();     //... here build query string based on "dto"     resource.add(linkto(resourcecontroller.class).withrel("resources"));     return new responseentity<resourcesupport>(resource, httpstatus.created);   } } =========================================== @controller @requestmapping("/resources") public class resourcecontroller{   @requestmapping(method = requestmethod.get)   public responseentity<collectiondto> listresources(@requestparam("param1") string param1, @requestparam("param2") string param2){     ...   } } 

the thing can't figure out how add query string parameters url in line:

resource.add(linkto(resourcecontroller.class).withrel("resources")); 

because result of line is:

{   "links" : [     {       "rel":"resources",       "href":"http://localhost:8080/resources"     }   ] } 

any ideas?

there couple of (potential) mismatches between names have used in resources , desired output, hence not able map well.

anyway, need use methodon of controllerlinkbuilder. here's example should going.
