+# Web Controller
+
+In Spring’s approach to building web sites, HTTP requests are handled by a controller. You can easily identify the controller by the [`@Controller`](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/stereotype/Controller.html) annotation. In the following example, `GreetingController` handles GET requests for `/greeting` by returning the name of a [`View`](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/servlet/View.html) (in this case, `greeting`). A `View` is responsible for rendering the HTML content. The following listing (from `src/main/java/djmil/hellomvc/GreetingController.java`) shows the controller:
+
+```java
+package djmil.hellomvc;
+
+import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
+import org.springframework.ui.Model;
+import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
+import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
+
+@Controller
+public class GreetingController {
+
+ @GetMapping("/greeting")
+ public String greeting(@RequestParam(name="name", required=false, defaultValue="World") String name, Model model) {
+
+ // NOTE: Here we can request some data from our RESTful backend as well
+ model.addAttribute("name", name);
+
+ return "greeting"; // <<-- template
+ }
+}
+```
+
+This controller is concise and simple, but there is plenty going on. We break it down step by step.
+
+The `@GetMapping` annotation ensures that HTTP GET requests to `/greeting` are mapped to the `greeting()` method.
+
+[`@RequestParam`](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/bind/annotation/RequestParam.html) binds the value of the query string parameter `name` into the `name` parameter of the `greeting()` method. This query string parameter is not `required`. If it is absent in the request, the `defaultValue` of `World` is used. The value of the `name` parameter is added to a [`Model`](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/ui/Model.html) object, ultimately making it accessible to the view template.
+
+# Model, View and a Template
+
+The implementation of the `greeting()` method body relies on a view technology (in this case, [Thymeleaf](http://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/tutorials/2.1/thymeleafspring.html)) to perform server-side rendering of the HTML.
+
+> [!note] Make sure you have Thymeleaf on your classpath. Artifact co-ordinates: `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf`
+
+Thymeleaf parses the `greeting.html` template and evaluates the `th:text` expression to render the value of the `${name}` parameter that was set in the controller. The following listing `src/main/resources/templates/greeting.html` shows the template:
