play framework 2.2.2 routing multiple different query params, Ember - data redirect status - ember.js

Question

I am using play 2.2.2. I have apis of the form
/users?token=abcd
/users?resetToken=abcd
I have configured my route as follows:
GET /users controllers.X.method(token: String)
GET /users controllers.Y.method(resetToken: String)
Now, when I make a call to the /users?resetToken=tokenvalue, I get the following error
For request 'GET /users?resetToken=tokenvalue' [Missing parameter: token]
I could have solved this by routing both the apis to the same method and then checking the query params inside the method. But I want to route the apis to two different methods because of the access restrictions on each of them. One of the apis can be accessed only after login while the other can be accessed with/without login.
Could you please help me resolve the issue?
(Adding more information:)
I tried the following:
GET /users controllers.A.genericMethod()
GET /usersByToken/:token controllers.X.method(token: String)
GET /usersByResetToken/:token controllers.Y.method(token: String)
In controllers.A,
public static Promise<Result> genericMethod(){
Map<String, String[]> queryParams = Context.current().request().queryString();
String[] tokens = queryParams.get("token");
String[] resetTokens = queryParams.get("resetToken");
if (tokens != null && tokens.length == 1) {
return Promise.pure((Result) redirect(controllers.routes.X.method(tokens[0])));
} else if (resetTokens != null && resetTokens.length == 1) {
return Promise.pure((Result) redirect(controllers.routes.Y.method(resetTokens[0])));
} else {
ObjectNode node = ControllerHelper.error(ResponseStatus.BAD_REQUEST,
"Required params not set!");
return Promise.pure((Result) badRequest(node));
}
}
In controllers.X
#SubjectPresent
public static Promise<Result> method(){
....
}
In controllers.Y
public static Promise<Result> method(){
....
}
This works from the play framework point of view.
But I am calling these apis from ember framework through ember-data. So, if I make a call to it from ember-data, say using
this.store.find('user', {token: "abcd"});
which forms the corresponding api url
/users?token=abcd
I get a response of "303, see other" and the required data is not returned.

Answer 1

You can't declare two routes with the same method and path, fortunately you don't have to, you have two solutions, first is declaring 'Optional parameters' (#see: doc) like
GET /users controllers.X.action(token ?= null, resetToken ?= null)
public static Result action(String token, String resetToken){
if (token==null) debug("No token given...");
// etc
}
Other solution is declaring rout w/out params, as you can still get arguments with DynamicForm
GET /users controllers.X.action()
public static Result action(){
DynamicForm dynamicForm = Form.form().bindFromRequest();
String token = dynamicForm.get("token");
if (token==null) debug("No token given...");
// etc
}
Second approach is better especially if your API has large amount of optional params.

I understand that one api is protected, requiring a login, and another does not.
You need to have two separate routes, this is the best way.
GET /users controllers.X.method(token: String)
GET /public/users controllers.Y.method(resetToken: String)
Combining it into one route will not allow you to have separate access restrictions.
You need to break it into two routes, one with a private access and one with a public access.
This will change your apis obviously.
