I'm using Spring Boot 2.5. I have this enum
public enum MyEnum {
VALUE1("Label 1"),
VALUE2("Label 2"),
VALUE3("Label 3");
private String label;
MyEnum(String label) {
this.label = label;
}
public String getLabel() {
return label;
}
}
and this controller method that I want to accept the enum
...
@RestController
public class MyController {
@GetMapping("/my-endpoint")
public String myEndpoint(@RequestParam MyEnum myEnum) {
// Your code here
return "Received enum value: " + myEnum + " with label: " + myEnum.getLabel();
}
}
The problem is when I submit a request like "/my-endpoint?myEnum=label%201", I get the error, "Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type". What else do I need to do to allow conversion to happen successfully?
