In the following example, there is a method defined on RequestMapping, RequestMethod.GET. The showPage method will be mapped only to the GET request for the /show-page URI. All other request method types would throw a method not supported exception:

    @Controller 
    public class UserController { 
      @RequestMapping(value = "/show-page" , method = 
      RequestMethod.GET) 
      public String showPage() { 
        /* Some code */ 
       } 
    }
