Take a look at the following controller:
@Controller public class BasicModelViewController { @RequestMapping(value = "/welcome-model-view") public ModelAndView welcome(ModelMap model) { model.put("name", "XYZ"); return new ModelAndView("welcome-model-view", model); } }
A few important things to note are as follows:
- @RequestMapping(value = "/welcome-model-view"): The URI mapped is /welcome-model-view.
- public ModelAndView welcome(ModelMap model): Note that the return value is no longer a String. It is ModelAndView.
- return new ModelAndView("welcome-model-view", model): Create a ModelAndView object with the appropriate view name and model.
