Hi,
     when I use CXF WebClient to invoke the http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/process-definition/test:1:401 REST WebService, The CXF WebClient change The URI: http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/process-definition/test%3A1%3A401, the activiti-rest module could not find the processDefinition, because id is "test%3A1%3A401", but not test:1:401
    I print the WebClient URI, here is the code:

         WebClient client = WebClient.create(
               "http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/process-definition/myTest:1:401" ,
               userName, passwd, null);
         System.out.println(client.getBaseURI());
         System.out.println(client.getCurrentURI());
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

    Call WebClient getBaseURI method, result is http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/process-definition/test:1:401.
    Call getCurrentURI method, result is http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/process-definition/test%3A1%3A401.
    The WebClient work with CurrentURI in fact, how to resolve this?  thanks a lot.

That's strange, all URL-parameters from the rest are decoded before being used:

/**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; * Get a request attribute value, decoded. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; */<br>&nbsp; protected String getAttribute(String name) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return decode((String) getRequest().getAttributes().get(name));<br>&nbsp; }<br><br> protected String decode(String string) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if(string != null) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; try {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return URLDecoder.decode(string, "UTF-8");<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; throw new IllegalStateException("JVM does not support UTF-8 encoding.", uee);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return null;<br>&nbsp; }<br>
I tried running our test-suite with a forced encoded URL and it still works:

<br> /**<br>&nbsp; * Test getting a single process definition.<br>&nbsp; * GET repository/process-definitions/{processDefinitionResource}<br>&nbsp; */<br>&nbsp; @Deployment(resources={"org/activiti/rest/api/repository/oneTaskProcess.bpmn20.xml"})<br>&nbsp; public void testGetProcessDefinition() throws Exception {<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ProcessDefinition processDefinition = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery().singleResult();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ClientResource client = getAuthenticatedClient(RestUrls.createRelativeResourceUrl(RestUrls.URL_PROCESS_DEFINITION, encode(processDefinition.getId())));<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Representation response = client.get();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // Check "OK" status<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; assertEquals(Status.SUCCESS_OK, client.getResponse().getStatus());<br>
What is the actual error-desciption in the JSON-response?
