Now, let's create a controller class to map the /home request, as follows:
package com.packt.springhighperformance.ch4.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class BankController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/home")
public String home() {
return "home";
}
}
In the preceding code, @Controller defines a Spring MVC controller that contains request mappings. The @RequestMapping(value = "home") object defines a mapping URL, /home, to a method, home(). So, when the browser hits a /home request, it executes the home() method.
