Annotate a required queryParam

My method definition is:

@GET
@Path("/{featureGroup}")
public void getRecord(
                 @PathParam("featureGroup") String featureGroup, 
                 @Schema Jedis jedis, 
                 @Context HttpServletRequest request, 
                 @Context HttpServletResponse response)
            throws IOException, JedisException, JSONException {}

I want to annotate a required/notnull queryParam RecordIdentifierValueAsString as somewhere for this call. But when I do that, it says that local variable can not be annotated -

@NotNull @QueryParam("RecordIdentifierValueAsString") String recordIdentifier;

How can I annotate a query param if its not used as an argument to the method?
