Difference between @RestController and @RepositoryRestController
According to the annotation the RepositoryRestController
is a way to provide custom controllers that still take advantage of Spring Data REST functionality.
Spring Data REST Reference Guide, 15.6. Overriding Spring Data REST Response Handlers:
Sometimes you may want to write a custom handler for a specific resource. To take advantage of Spring Data REST’s settings, message converters, exception handling, and more, use the @RepositoryRestController annotation instead of a standard Spring MVC @Controller or @RestController.
Most importantly the RepositoryRestController
is aware of the Spring Data REST base path and will be served under this base path.
