@RequestParam annotated parameters get linked to specific Servlet request parameters. Parameter values are converted to the declared method argument type. This annotation indicates that a method parameter should be bound to a web request parameter.
For example Angular request for Spring RequestParam(s) would look like that:
$http.post('http://localhost:7777/scan/l/register', {params: {"username": $scope.username, "password": $scope.password, "auth": true}}).
success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
...
})
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "application/json", value = "/register")
public Map<String, String> register(Model uiModel,
@RequestParam String username, @RequestParam String password, boolean auth,
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) {...
@RequestBody annotated parameters get linked to the HTTP request body. Parameter values are converted to the declared method argument type using HttpMessageConverters. This annotation indicates a method parameter should be bound to the body of the web request.
For example Angular request for Spring RequestBody would look like that:
$scope.user = {
username: "foo",
auth: true,
password: "bar"
};
$http.post('http://localhost:7777/scan/l/register', $scope.user).
success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
...
})
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "application/json", value = "/register")
public Map<String, String> register(Model uiModel,
@RequestBody User user,
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) {...
Hope this helps.
