# Path Parameters and Numeric Validations { #path-parameters-and-numeric-validations }

In the same way that you can declare more validations and metadata for query parameters with `Query`, you can declare the same type of validations and metadata for path parameters with `Path`.

## Import `Path` { #import-path }

First, import `Path` from `fastapi`, and import `Annotated`:

{* ../../docs_src/path_params_numeric_validations/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[1,3] *}

    public void setParameters(List<Parameter> parameters) throws DuplicateParameterException {
        this.parameters.clear();
        for (Parameter parameter : parameters) {
            addParameter(parameter);
        }
    }

    /**
     * @param parameter add a new parameter
     * @throws DuplicateParameterException if any
     */
    public void addParameter(Parameter parameter) throws DuplicateParameterException {

{* ../../docs_src/body/tutorial002_py310.py *}

## Request body + path parameters { #request-body-path-parameters }

You can declare path parameters and request body at the same time.

**FastAPI** will recognize that the function parameters that match path parameters should be **taken from the path**, and that function parameters that are declared to be Pydantic models should be **taken from the request body**.

import java.util.Arrays;

/**
 * Entity class representing a request parameter with a name and associated values.
 * This class encapsulates HTTP request parameters that can have multiple values,
 * such as query parameters, form parameters, or other request-related data.
 *
 * <p>This class is immutable and thread-safe. Once created, the parameter name
 * and values cannot be modified.</p>
 *
 */
public class RequestParameter {

                "The parameters " + format(parameters) + " for goal " + mojo.getRoleHint() + " are missing or invalid");

        this.mojo = mojo;

        this.parameters = parameters;
    }

    private static String format(List<Parameter> parameters) {
        StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder(128);
        if (parameters != null) {
            for (Parameter parameter : parameters) {

    }

    /**
     * Stores a parameter value with the specified key.
     *
     * @param key the parameter key, must not be null
     * @param value the parameter value, may be null
     */
    public void put(final String key, final Object value) {
        params.put(key, value);
    }

    /**
     * Retrieves a parameter value by key.
     *
     * @param key the parameter key to look up

        router_sig = inspect.signature(router_method)
        app_sig = inspect.signature(app_method)
        param: inspect.Parameter
        for key, param in base_sig.parameters.items():
            router_param: inspect.Parameter = router_sig.parameters[key]
            app_param: inspect.Parameter = app_sig.parameters[key]
            assert param.annotation == router_param.annotation
            assert param.annotation == app_param.annotation

  /** True if the agreed upon extension parameters includes "client_no_context_takeover". */
  @JvmField val clientNoContextTakeover: Boolean = false,
  /** Should be a value in [8..15]. Any value in that range is acceptable by OkHttp. */
  @JvmField val serverMaxWindowBits: Int? = null,
  /** True if the agreed upon extension parameters includes "server_no_context_takeover". */

# Path Parameters { #path-parameters }

You can declare path "parameters" or "variables" with the same syntax used by Python format strings:

{* ../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial001_py39.py hl[6:7] *}

The value of the path parameter `item_id` will be passed to your function as the argument `item_id`.

                    logger.warn("Failed to store search parameters in cookie.", e);
                }
            }
        });
    }
