Spring MVC Request mapping, can this be dynamic/configurable?

Question

Answer 1

Also another solution might be to create a custom annotation that holds the already defined path on the @RequestMapping and also the new one to apply, let's say @ApiRestController.

Then, before the Spring context loads, the @Controller classes can be changed to have their annotation values changed at runtime by the new one (with the desired path). By doing this, Spring will load the enhanced request mapping and not the default one.

Created a small project to exemplify this for someone that needs this in the future https://gitlab.com/jdiasamaro/spring-api-rest-controllers.

Hope it helps. Cheers.
