GET request with @RequestBody annotation in Spring

Question

Can we use GET request with @RequestBody annotation in Spring mvc or not?

I am not able to understand why it is working with POST and not GET . Also in the spring-reference.pdf the use of this annotation is with PUT .

Can someone please explain can it be used with other RequestMethods as well and how to use the same.

Answer 1

Probably your client or something at a lower tier in the server is ignoring or stripping it. Adding a body to a GET is technically not forbidden by HTTP, but it's sort of undefined and not universally supported.
