'PathVariable and pathvariable with requestparam endpoints in rest controller [duplicate]

I want to create 2 endpoints in my @RestController annotated spring boot project.

Endpoint 1: api/account/balance/{accountnum}

Endpoint 2: api/account/balance/{accountnum}?datetime={datetime}

Both end points are having same URI until the path variable but second one has an additional query param in it. But when i send request it always go to first endpoint(without query param) eventhoug i send datetime query param in the request.

Is it possible to create these 2 endpoints with same URL but one with additional query param?

Solution 1:[1]

No, You can't, what you can do is get the datetime param value, if it has value, then do the operation based on it else do the other operation.

Solution 2:[2]

You can create a single endpoint with Queryparameter as optional by default. If you want to specify you can use like below

@RequestParam(value = "myProp", required = false) String myProp
