In previous post, I created the  Web Service RESTful with combination JSON and XML. This post is the extension to separate JSON into one method and XML into one method.
Every thing is the same  Spring 3.1 Web Service RESTful part01 - JSON and XML except the EmployeeController.java class.

@Controller
public class EmployeeController {
	private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

	/**
	 * Sample URL: http://localhost:8080/app0142/restful/employeeid/1 
	 */
	@RequestMapping(value="/employeeid/{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET, headers="Accept=application/xml")
	public @ResponseBody Employee getEmployeeByIdAsXML(@PathVariable Integer id) {
		logger.trace("Serving resource for id As XML: " + id);
		return new Employee(id,"WhiteXML","Rose","whiterose","whiterose1@gmail.com","123456789","img_whiterose");
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value="/employeeid/{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET, headers="Accept=application/json")
	public @ResponseBody Employee getEmployeeByIdAsJSON(@PathVariable Integer id) {
		logger.trace("Serving resource for id As JSON : " + id);
		return new Employee(id,"WhiteJSON","Rose","whiterose","whiterose1@gmail.com","123456789","img_whiterose");
	}
	
}
