While helping out someone else, I noticed they were trying to do Spring development using the @GET, @Consumes, and @Path annotations. It is my understanding that these annotations come from the JSR-311 specification.

I simply suggested that they use the Spring @RequestMapping annotation for mapping endpoints to their controller, but it made me curious as to whether or not Spring MVC (any version) supports JSR 311?

    Short answer: NO. To quote Juergen Hoeller:

    We’re considering integration with JAX-RS on a separate basis – separate from Spring MVC’s own endpoint model -, possibly supporting the use of Jersey (the JAX-RS RI) with Spring-style beans in a Spring web application context. This might make Spring 3.0 as well, depending on the finalization of JSR 311 and Jersey in time for Spring 3.0 RC1. Otherwise it would be a candidate for Spring 3.1.

    However I haven’t found such a support neither in 3.0 nor in 3.1.

    Of course you can integrate frameworks like Apache CXF and use standard JSR-311 annotations. Spring MVC itself does not recognize these annotations.
