GET request with nested objects in @RestController?

Question

Is it possible to create a GET webservice in spring and using nested properties in the query? Like search.limitResults in the following example:

localhost:8080/firstname=test&search.limitResults=10

You get the idea. Can this be achieved?

@RestController
public class MyServlet {
   @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
   private String test(RestParams p) {

   }
}

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class RestParams {
    private String firstname;
    private String lastname;

    //is that possible to nest?
    private Search search;
}

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Search {
   private int limitResults;
   //some more
}

Answer 1

To answer my own question: it just works this way! Nested properties can be accessed using the dot accessor, like search.limitResults .
