@RestControllerAdvice vs @ControllerAdvice

Question

• What are the major difference between @RestControllerAdvice and @ControllerAdvice ??
• Is it we should always use @RestControllerAdvice for rest services and @C

Answer 1

@RestControllerAdvice is just a syntactic sugar for @ControllerAdvice + @ResponseBody, you can look here.

Is it we should always use @RestControllerAdvice for rest services and @ControllerAdvice MVC?

Again, as mentioned above, @ControllerAdvice can be used even for REST web services as well, but you need to additionally use @ResponseBody.
