Support for Spring-MVC/Rest #26

Closed hohwille closed 3 years ago

hohwille commented 4 years ago

Even though it is proprietary a lot of Java developers seem to use spring-mvc / spring-rest for implementing REST services rather than following the official JakartaEE JAX-RS standard. I would not recommand this but still it would be nice if docgen would also find and analyse such REST services and support this alongside JAX-RS. It should not be very hard to do.

To be honest: I very welcome PRs implementing this feature. It is not hard to implement. However, I do not have any use-case for this myself. I like spring but IMHO spring-mvc is a proprietary technology that should be considered deprecated and JAX-RS is the official standard in Java to go giving the option to choose from many different implementations (CXF, jersey, dropwizzard, resteasy, etc.) and working accross frameworks (not only with spring[-boot] but also quarkus, micronaut, etc.). So still using spring-mvc seems pointless ignoring established standards...

So from my PoV wontfix. As soon as someone shows up with a PR, I am happy to repopen, review and merge PR.
