I need to send a value like app/role as parameter through rest webservice url from angularjs
In controller.js
var roleName = 'app/role';
checkRole.check({'roleName': roleName}, function(data){}
In model.js
popModel.factory('checkRole', function ($resource) {    
    return  $resource('./rest/checkRole/:roleName',{roleName:'@roleName'},{
        check: {'method':'GET'},
    });
});
The rest webservice call in java
    @GET
    @Path("/checkRole/{roleName}")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response checkRole(@Context HttpServletRequest request, @PathParam("roleName") String roleName);
When i pass it i am getting browser console error as
Bad request response from the server.
For normal parameter values like 'Test', 'Solution', 'Application' etc. If i use with / as a parameter no process is done and i am getting error.
