使用这个特性,我们可以开发REST服务的时候不需要使用@Controller而专门的@RestController。
当你实现一个RESTful web services的时候,response将一直通过response body发送。为了简化开发,Spring 4.0提供了一个专门版本的controller。下面我们来看看@RestController实现的定义:
@Target(ElementType.TYPE) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Documented @Controller @ResponseBody public @interface RestController { /** * The value may indicate a suggestion for a logical component name, * to be turned into a Spring bean in case of an autodetected component. * @return the suggested component name, if any * @since 4.0.1 */ String value() default ""; }
官方文档解释:
A convenience annotation that is itself annotated with @Controller and @ResponseBody. Types that carry this annotation are treated as controllers where @RequestMapping methods assume @ResponseBody semantics by default. 注解本身使用@Controller和@ResponseBody注解。使用了这个注解的类会被看作一个controller-使用@RequestMapping的方法有一个默认的@ResponseBody注解。 @ResponseBody – As of version 4.0 this annotation can also be added on the type level in which case is inherited and does not need to be added on the method level. @ResponseBody也可以加到类一级,通过继承方法一级不需要添加。
示例:
UserDetails.java
package javabeat.net.rest; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement; @XmlRootElement public class UserDetails { private String userName; private String emailId; @XmlAttribute public String getUserName() { return userName; } public void setUserName(String userName) { this.userName = userName; } @XmlAttribute public String getEmailId() { return emailId; } public void setEmailId(String emailId) { this.emailId = emailId; } }
SpringRestControllerDemo.java
package javabeat.net.rest; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController; @RestController public class SpringRestControllerDemo { @Autowired UserDetails userDetails; @RequestMapping(value="/springcontent", method=RequestMethod.GET,produces={"application/xml", "application/json"}) @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK) public UserDetails getUser() { UserDetails userDetails = new UserDetails(); userDetails.setUserName("Krishna"); userDetails.setEmailId("[email protected]"); return userDetails; } @RequestMapping(value="/springcontent.htm", method=RequestMethod.GET) @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK) public String getUserhtml() { //Test HTML view return "example"; } }
