Spring Boot - REST Controllers

Given the controller class below, what is the full URL path to access the getUser() method?

@RequestMapping("/api")
public class UserController {
  @RequestMapping("/user")
  public String getUser() { return "user"; }
}

A/user

B/user/api

C/api

D/api/user

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify class-level base path
The class has @RequestMapping("/api"), so all method paths start with /api.
Step 2: Append method-level path
The method getUser() has @RequestMapping("/user"), so the full path is /api + /user = /api/user.
Final Answer:
/api/user -> Option D
Quick Check:
Base path + method path = full URL [OK]

Quick Trick: Combine class and method paths with slashes [OK]
