If I have two controllers:
@RestController
public class ContentController {
@GetMapping("/specialContent")
public Map<String, String> handleSpecialContent() {
Map<String, String> map = handleContent("specialContent");
map.put("special", "true");
return map;
}
@GetMapping("/{content}")
public Map<String, String> handleContent(@PathVariable String content) {
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("content", content);
return map;
}
}
Is it guaranteed to go to handleSpecialContent()
if I type '/specialContent' in the URL?
I could not find this on the internet
Thanks
Spring will match the handler to your explicitly defined mapping, so if you send a GET
request to /specialContent
, it's going to invoke your method marked as @GetMapping("/specialContent")
.
If you'd like to learn how Spring matches, set a breakpoint in org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet#getHandler(HttpServletRequest request)
and send your request.
