I am using java RQM Rest API to fetch data from RQM tool
I have a test case in project CLM Test (Quality Management). The test case title is
Pre-Paid Residential Customer to Post-Paid Consumer (Qatari-National) Customer Migration.(Existing Customer having only prepaid subscription)
Internal Id is 3271 I am trying to fetch test case details from Test Suite. While fetching the test case details from TestSuite, I am getting the test case href as
<testcase href= "https://clm.techmahindra.com:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/CLM+Test+%28Quality+Management%29/testcase/Pre-Paid_Residential Customer_to_Post-Paid_Consumer_(Qatari-National)_Customer_Migration.(Existing_Customer_having_only_prepaid_subscription).xml" />
If you observe the test case href, it contains a space after 'Paid_Residential' so when querying the server with this href, I am getting URISyntaxException due to the space in string.
One more strange thing is: When I query server using RestClient(FireFox plugin) this query says 400 Error - Bad request. But when i click on testcase href as recieved in TestSuite record, I am able to get the testcase record.
Please help me to get this data.
It seems the title contains some special characters that throws URISyntaxException when we try to convert href to URI percentage encoding format. I initially used URI java class for conversion and it failed to convert the string (href= "https://clm.techmahindra.com:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/CLM+Test+%28Quality+Management%29/testcase/Pre-Paid_Residential Customer_to_Post-Paid_Consumer_(Qatari-National)_Customer_Migration.(Existing_Customer_having_only_prepaid_subscription).xml")
But when I tried with URLEncoder class, it worked. Now I able to get record even for test cases having special characters in it.
snippet:
String strURI = URLEncoder.encode(href, "UTF-8");
