About Alexey Zvolinskiy
In the previous post I have made a fast overview of the setting up environment for Spring MVC REST project with CNVR. In this part I can focus directly on a controller and on demonstration of a REST service. As usually I’m going to make a short introduction and after that I will go through the controller methods and explain all essential moments.
Since further I will talk about the REST service, I need to say some sentences about the basic REST concepts. You probably heard before about sites which provide API to use their functionality. This becomes possible with the help of REST or SOAP, but in this article I will talk about the REST.
E.g. you want to develop an application for a university library which will work with students and books. You can implement all controllers using REST. This decision will make your application opened for a collaboration with other applications which can use the application’s API. For the more information about REST features you need to visit special sites.
