Question

I have the following piece of code in my Spring MVC application:

@RequestMapping(value = "/ping")
public void ping () {

}

I want to respond to that request with a simple plain text with:

OK!

But I’m currently using a ResourceBundleViewResolver, having my jsp’s in the WEB-INF/views folder… Is there a way to output plain text only by modifying the content of my ping () method? Thanks!

Try this:

@RequestMapping(value = "/ping")
@ResponseBody
public String ping () {
   return "OK!";
}
