Spring: @ModelAttribute VS @RequestBody

Question

Please correct me if I am wrong. Both can be used for Data Binding.

The question is when to use @ModelAttribute?

@RequestMapping(val         


        

Answer 1

I think @ModelAttribute and @RequestBody both are having same use, only difference is @ModelAttribute use for normal spring MVC and @RequestBody use for REST web service. It is @PathVariable and @PathParam. But in in both the cases we can mix it. we can use @PathVariable in REST and vice versa.
