Package com.blackrook.small.annotation.controller

Annotation Interface View

@Target(METHOD)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface View

Should be used on EntryPath-annotated methods on Controller-annotated components.

Designates that the return value is the name of a view to be handled by ViewDrivers.

If the return type is...

• SmallModelView, it is used for both the model for the found view and view name to resolve.
• Anything else, the string-converted value is considered to be the name of the view to resolve, no model.

If the view name starts with "redirect:", then a redirect request is sent to the browser (Location header).

If no ViewDriver handles the view, a 501 error is sent back.
