How else can routing be implemented without binding to class name?

Routing without binding to class name can be implemented using configuration files or annotations that do not depend on specific class names.

For example, in Java, you can use:

• Annotations with parameters: Instead of hard-binding to the class name, routes are defined through annotations specifying the path.

• Configuration files (e.g., YAML, XML): These describe routes and corresponding handlers, which can be loaded dynamically.

• Use of interfaces and factories: Routing is built based on interfaces and dynamic determination of handlers by their functionality, not by class name.

Example with annotations:

@Path("/users")
public class UserResource {
    @GET
    public Response getUsers() { ... }
}

Here, the path is set by annotation, not directly by class name.

This approach increases flexibility and ease of maintenance, allowing routes to be changed without renaming classes.
