Spring pagination - request parameters

Question

My REST contorller:

 @GetMapping("/test")
 public Page<MyObject> pathParamTest(Pageable pageable) {
 return myService.getPage(pageable);
 }

I send a request like following:

localhost:8091/endpoint/test?page=0&size=3&sort=id&direction=DESC

It's my response from server:

{
 "content": [
 {
 "id": 1
 },
 {
 "id": 2
 },
 {
 "id": 3
 }
 ],
 "last": true,
 "totalPages": 1,
 "totalElements": 3,
 "first": true,
 "sort": [
 {
 "direction": "ASC",
 "property": "id",
 "ignoreCase": false,
 "nullHandling": "NATIVE",
 "descending": false,
 "ascending": true
 }
 ],
 "numberOfElements": 3,
 "size": 3,
 "number": 0
}

but the request has still direction = ASC.

How can I send to server direction = DESC?

And why response has a field "last" = true, because next page has one element more?

• user: No, I didn't find nothing about my problem. When I write phrases: "spring pagination", "spring pageable" I get articles from '14 using ModelView.
• user: Oh, okey. I forgot that everyone is an expert. Forgive that you had to write this post... Pathetic...
• AndyRED: I have an additional question closely related to this one if anyone knows the answer, but I don't think this is possible. How do we pass the ignoreCase param on the query? I hoped it would be as simple as:- curl -v "localhost:8080/people/search/…" but it's not :-(

Answer 1

try localhost:8091/endpoint/test?page=0&size=3&sort=id,DESC

from spring data rest 6.2. Sorting

curl -v "http://localhost:8080/people/search/nameStartsWith?name=K&sort=name,desc"

sort Properties that should be sorted by in the format property,property(,ASC|DESC). Default sort direction is ascending. Use multiple sort parameters if you want to switch directions, e.g. ?sort=firstname&sort=lastname,asc.
