org.springframework.web.bind.MissingPathVariableException: Missing URI template variable 'teacherid' for method parameter of type String

This exception occurs when a controller method is expecting a path variable (denoted by curly braces in the request mapping) but it is not present in the actual request URI. In this case, the missing path variable is 'teacherid' and the expected parameter type is String.

To fix this issue, you need to ensure that the request URI contains the path variable 'teacherid'. You can do this by adding it to the URI or by modifying the controller method to make it optional using the @PathVariable(required=false) annotation.

Example:

@GetMapping("/teachers/{teacherid}")
public String getTeacher(@PathVariable(required=false) String teacherid) {
    if(teacherid == null) {
        // handle the case where teacherid is missing
    }
    // process the request
}

In this example, the @PathVariable(required=false) annotation makes the 'teacherid' parameter optional. If it is missing in the request URI, the parameter will be set to null and you can handle it accordingly.
