Spring 4.x MVC and RESTful service Demo

This project will demo the techniques that would be used in our project. This version 1 will be just a general-purpose website (I call it bare version), it has a front-end and a back-end, the backend requires login. The documentation is in another project, it's just my personal learning notes.

2. Asked one question on stackoverflow (replied)
3. RESTful CRUD (@RestController in Spring4.x)(done)
4. Slf4j + Log4j(done)
5. Error handling(ongoing)
6. what's the difference between ctx-annotation-config and mvc-annotation-driven(reading)
