Annotation Type Controller

@NameBinding
 @Target(value={METHOD,TYPE})

 @Documented
 @Inherited
public @interface Controller

Declares a method as a controller. If declared at the type level, it applies to all methods in the type. A controller method returns a view as a String, as part of a Viewable or as a Response whose entity is a Viewable. If a controller method returns void, then the view must be specified using the View annotation.

Example:

     @Controller
     public String sayHello() {
         return "hello.jsp";
     }
