Spring framework 4.3 introduced variants of the @RequestMapping
annotation to better represent the semantics of the annotated methods.
The use of @GetMapping
, @PostMapping
, @PutMapping
, @PatchMapping
and @DeleteMapping
should be preferred to the use of the raw @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.XYZ)
.
@RequestMapping(path = "/greeting", method = RequestMethod.GET) // Noncompliant public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) { ... }
@GetMapping(path = "/greeting") // Compliant public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) { ... }
