RequestMapping and @GetMapping

@RequestMapping

• Can handle all HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
• Syntax: @RequestMapping(value="/path", method=RequestMethod.GET)

@GetMapping

• Handles GET requests only
• Syntax: @GetMapping("/path")
• Simpler and cleaner for GET requests

Example:

    @Controller
    public class HomeController {

       @RequestMapping(value="/home", method=RequestMethod.GET)
        public String home() { return "index";}

        @GetMapping("/home")
        public String home() {  return "index";}

    }
