Spring MVC controller

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.
