I tend to agree with this report regarding CoC. In MVC, we've tried to allow annotations like @Controller and @View at the class level to reduce duplication. All the other annotations are from JAX-RS, and there's already an issue filed for that:
Original issue MVC_SPEC-24 created by Santiago Pericas-Geertsen:
From "Rodrigo":
-- 2) I like the initial code, but from the beginning we could assume some defaults (conventions) to avoid a lot of annotations defining a simple hello world on MVC. One of the things I like on VRaptor is that it takes convention over configuration. So do other frameworks. For instance, the ConversationController class look like:
@Path("converse") public class ConversationController {
@GET @Controller @Produces("text/html") @Path("tellme") public String tellme() { return "tellme.jsp"; } }
Besides being very verbose (10 simple methods would require +/- 70 lines), the user must to remember about adding @Produces, etc. User must to know much about spec to start using it.... IMO the controller could just look like this:
@Controller("converse") public class ConversationController {
@GET("tellme") public String tellme() { return "tellme.jsp"; } }
