Class ViewControllers

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.backend.ViewControllers
All Implemented Interfaces:
HttpServer.Handler
public final class ViewControllers extends Object implements HttpServer.Handler

Routes answered without a controller method, as Spring's addRedirectViewController and addStatusController.

@Bean
HttpServer.Handler shortcuts() {
    return new ViewControllers()
            .redirect("/docs", "/docs/index.html")
            .status("/favicon.ico", 204);
}

Spring's addViewController("/", "home") -- a template rendered for a path -- has no counterpart: a view here is compiled into the controller method that returns it, so there is nothing to look a view name up in at run time. A one-line @GetMapping method returning the name does the same and keeps the template checked at build time.
