 Endpoints can be exposed over HTTP using Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux.
 If both Jersey and Spring MVC are available, Spring MVC will be used.

 You can also write technology-specific endpoints by using `@JmxEndpoint` or `@WebEndpoint`.
 These endpoints are restricted to their respective technologies.
 For example, `@WebEndpoint` is exposed only over HTTP and not over JMX.

 NOTE: To allow the input to be mapped to the operation method's parameters, Java code implementing an endpoint should be compiled with `-parameters`, and Kotlin code implementing an endpoint should be compiled with `-java-parameters`.
 This will happen automatically if you are using Spring Boot's Gradle plugin or if you are using Maven and `spring-boot-starter-parent`.
