Spring MVC

BMI Calculator

Intuition and implementation

• Implement a BMIController in a Spring MVC project to process POST requests at /user/bmi.
• The controller will accept height in inches and weight in pounds from the request.
• It will calculate BMI using the formula: BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in inches)^2) * 703.
• The input JSP page will provide a form for users to enter their height and weight.
• Upon form submission, data is sent to /user/bmi via POST.
• The controller processes this data, calculates BMI, and prepares the result.
• Using HttpSession for maintaining the session for a user.

BMI Calculator using REST controller

Intuition and Implementation

• For creating a RESTful service to calculate BMI, we'll develop a Spring Boot application that includes a BMIRestController.
• This controller will handle POST requests to the /bmirest endpoint.
• Users will send their height and weight as parameters in the request body.
