Annotation Interface WebController

@Retention(SOURCE)
@Target(TYPE)
public @interface WebController

The WebController annotation is used in conjunction with the @Bean annotation to indicate a Web controller bean.

Web controller beans are used to specify Web routes exposed in a module. These routes are aggregated in a bean, generated by the Web compiler, which configures the Web server on application startup.

Web routes are declared as methods annotated with @Webroute. A Web controller defines a base path, set to '/' by default, for all routes defined in the controller.

For instance, in the following example a request to /book is handled by the getList() method and a request to /book/1 by the get() method.

 @WebController( path = "/book" )
 @Bean
 public class BookResource {

     @WebRoute
     public List<Book> getList() {
         ...
     }

     @WebRoute( path = "/{id}" )
     public Book get(@PathParam String id) {
         ...
     }
 }
