Does Google App Engine support Spring @RestController

[Anders Vincent Lund]

I would like to try out Google App Engine. I have an application written in Spring MVC. My controllers look like this:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/something")
public class Controller{

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.OK)
@Override
public void add(@RequestBody Input input) {
    // dostuff
}

}

Is this possible to deploy on Google App Engine? I would really really like to avoid loosing this great abstraction and go back to stuff like this:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)

Is that possible or do I have to look at another hosting service?

As explained in the Spring documentation, @RestController is shorthand for @Controller and @ResponseBody rolled together. Since both @Controller and @ResponseBody are supported in the App Engine environment, the new Spring 4 @RestController should work as well. If you do receive errors, you can always revert back to using @Controller and @ResponseBody as an alternative. 

You can view our guide on optimizing the Spring Framework for App Engine, as well as the Mkyong guide for RESTful Spring on App Engine.
