Spring 中 @Controller 和 @RestController

@Controller, @RestController的共同点

都是用来表示Spring某个类的是否可以接收HTTP请求

Controller, RestController的不同点

@Controller标识一个Spring类是Spring MVC controller处理器

@RestController： @RestController是@Controller和@ResponseBody的结合体，两个标注合并起来的作用。

示例如下：

@Controller
@ResponseBody
public class MyController { }

@RestController
public class MyRestController { }

Spring 4.0 重要的一个新的改进是@RestController注解，它继承自@Controller注解。4.0之前的版本，Spring MVC的组件都使用@Controller来标识当前类是一个控制器servlet。

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(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Controller
@ResponseBody
public @interface RestController

Demo :

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("krishna@gmail.com");
return userDetails;
}

@RequestMapping(value="/springcontent.htm", method=RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
public String getUserHtml() {
//Test HTML view
return "example";
}
}
