@RequestParam in Spring MVC handling optional parameters

Question

Is it possible for a Spring controller to handle both kind of requests?

1) http://localhost:8080/submit/id/ID123432?logout=true

2) http:/

Answer 1

You need to give required = false for name and password request parameters as well. That's because, when you provide just the logout parameter, it actually expects for name and password as well as they are still mandatory.

It worked when you just gave name and password because logout wasn't a mandatory parameter thanks to required = false already given for logout.
