Plugin improvements

  • You can now host multiple OpenAPI specs from the same Javalin app (thanks to sauterl)
  • You can now specify a “base” model for template engines (thanks to TareqK)
  • JavalinVue now automatically HTML decodes URL parameters (thanks to otron)
  • Micrometer now correctly tracks Jetty connections (thanks to gi-wg2)

Splats

After a lot of back and forth, Splats have returned (thanks to oharaandrew314):

Handler-paths can include wildcard parameters (splats). These are available via Context.splat()

  • Java
  • Kotlin
app.get("/hello/*/and/*", ctx -> {
    ctx.result("Hello: " + ctx.splat(0) + " and " + ctx.splat(1));
});

app.get("/hello/*/and/*") { ctx ->
    ctx.result("Hello: " + ctx.splat(0) + " and " + ctx.splat(1))
}
