In this example, let's look at a Spring MVC Controller method, returning both the model and View details in a single object using ModelAndView. The welcome method returns a ModelAndView object with the View name and appropriate attributes in the Model.

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); 
      } 
   }

The following definitions explain the code in detail:

• @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 a ModelAndView object.
• return new ModelAndView("welcome-model-view", model): This creates a ModelAndView object with the appropriate View name and model.
