Difference between @Path and @Requestmapping in REST webservice

Question

I am working in REST webservice. I was going through some blogs and there I saw for mapping of URL to a method, they used different annotations. Some places used @RequestMapping and some places used @Path . How does both differ?

Answer 1

It depends on the framework that creates the Web service

@RequestMapping is an annotation used in Spring framework https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/

@Path is an annotation used in frameworks implementing JAX-RS API, such as Jersey https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/jaxrs-resources.html#d0e2001
