## javax.ws.rs
Annotation Type QueryParam

    @Target(value={PARAMETER,METHOD,FIELD})
    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    public @interface QueryParam

Binds the value(s) of a HTTP query parameter to a resource method parameter, resource class field, or resource class bean property. Values are URL decoded unless this is disabled using the `Encoded` annotation. A default value can be specified using the `DefaultValue` annotation. The type `T` of the annotated parameter, field or property must either:

1. Be a primitive type
2. Have a constructor that accepts a single `String` argument
3. Have a static method named `valueOf` or `fromString` that accepts a single `String` argument (see, for example, `Integer.valueOf(String)`)
4. Be `List<T>`, `Set<T>` or `SortedSet<T>`, where `T` satisfies 2 or 3 above. The resulting collection is read-only.

If the type is not one of those listed in 4 above then the first value (lexically) of the parameter is used.

Because injection occurs at object creation time, use of this annotation on resource class fields and bean properties is only supported for the default per-request resource class lifecycle. Resource classes using other lifecycles should only use this annotation on resource method parameters.

Required Element Summary
`java.lang.String` | `value` Defines the name of the HTTP query parameter whose value will be used to initialize the value of the annotated method argument, class field or bean property.

Element Detail

### value

    public abstract java.lang.String value

  Defines the name of the HTTP query parameter whose value will be used to initialize the value of the annotated method argument, class field or bean property. The name is specified in decoded form, any percent encoded literals within the value will not be decoded and will instead be treated as literal text. E.g. if the parameter name is "a b" then the value of the annotation is "a b", not "a+b" or "a%20b".
