Spring MVC framework is a very simple dispatcher question

Question

When I look at Spring FrameWork 3.0, I see the following code example:

@RequestMapping("/index.dlp") public ModelAndView index(){ logger.info("Return View"); return new ModelAndView("index"); } 

This option does not work for me. Only when I change the code as follows:

 @RequestMapping("/index.dlp") public ModelAndView index(){ logger.info("Return View"); return new ModelAndView("index.jsp"); } 

It works great. Can someone tell me why?

View names are permitted in the actual view of ViewResolver s.

To link to short JSP pages, you need to set the InternalResourceViewResolver using prefix and suffix . The following configuration maps index to /WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp :

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"> <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/> <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/> </bean>
