I've been reading up about Spring Boot and the Spring web stuff in general today, and I've been wondering about that. The @RequestMapping annotations do look a bit easier to integrate in extensions than the older XML mechanism, but that would depend on whether the two mechanisms would work together in our deployment.

Whether they do presumably relies on Spring component scanning and Spring doing at least some of the dispatching of requests so I have no idea whether this will be the case or not. Any ideas?
