Current code:

@RequestMapping(path = "/user", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity get(@RequestParam(value="id", defaultValue="") String id) {}

This will work for URLs like /user to return all users and /user?id=123 to return a specific user.

Is there a way to achieve real REST URLs so that /user/123 will return the user with the ID 123?

Use `@RequestMapping(path = "/user/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)` and `get(@PathVariable String id)`. – Ali Dehghani Jun 16 '16 at 11:20
