Let's start with creating a simple REST service returning a welcome message. We will create a simple POJO WelcomeBean class with a member field called message and one argument constructor, as shown in the following code snippet:
package com.mastering.spring.springboot.bean; public class WelcomeBean { private String message; public WelcomeBean(String message) { super(); this.message = message; } public String getMessage() { return message; } }
