Hi,

I am trying to create a spring rest controller in my /site project with all spring annotations . However I see that my controller currently extends org.hippoecm.hst.jaxrs.services.AbstractResource . So, I wonder if there is a spring alternative to it ?  
Currentlly my spring based rest controller isn’t being recognized as a service.

I really appreciate all your help.  
Many Thanks
