CustomerController.java

package com.pkm.maven.controller;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.MultiActionController;
 
public class CustomerController extends MultiActionController{
 
    public ModelAndView method1(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { 
        return new ModelAndView("CustomerPage", "msg", "method1() method"); 
    }
 
    public ModelAndView method2(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { 
        return new ModelAndView("CustomerPage", "msg", "method2() method"); 
    }
}

You have to create a file named 'CustomerPage.jsp' under WEB-INF/jsp/

URL would be like this

• customer/method1.htm
• customer/method2.htm
