## Why is this an issue?

Spring framework 4.3 introduced variants of the `@RequestMapping` annotation to better represent the semantics of the annotated methods. The use of `@GetMapping`, `@PostMapping`, `@PutMapping`, `@PatchMapping` and `@DeleteMapping` should be preferred to the use of the raw `@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.XYZ)`.

### Noncompliant code example

    @RequestMapping(path = "/greeting", method = RequestMethod.GET) // Noncompliant
    public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) {
    ...
    }

### Compliant solution

    @GetMapping(path = "/greeting") // Compliant
    public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) {
    ...
    }
