[FIXED] How to make a question mark URL with Spring?

Issue

I am currently looking to know how to make a question mark URL in Spring Web. My objective is to use this example URL /person?name=Bob to get a List<Person> named Bob!

I don't quite get how to do so this don't hesitate to give me more details if possible!

What I tried:

@GetMapping("/person?name={someName}")
List<Person> getPersonsByName(@RequestParam String name) {

    return personService.getPersonsByName(name);
}

What it does:

Since I'm doing a wrong mapping, it is not set up.

{
    "timestamp": "...",
    "status": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "path": "/person"
}

Solution

@RequestParam create ? in URL so you should try this

@GetMapping("/person")
    List<Person> getPersonsByName(@RequestParam String name) {
    
        return personService.getPersonsByName(name);
    }
