GreetingController.java
@Controller
public class GreetingController {
@GetMapping("/greeting")
public String greeting(@RequestParam(name="name", required=false, defaultValue="World") String name, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("name", name);
return "greeting";
}
}
Attention, here is @Controller, the function greeting returns the view name. Not @RestController.
