/*MainController.java*/

package com.mkyong.web.controller;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
public class MainController {

 @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public ModelAndView getdata() {

  List list = getList();

  //return back to index.jsp
  ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("index");
  model.addObject("lists", list);

  return model;

 }

 private List getList() {

  List list = new ArrayList();
  list.add("List A");
  list.add("List B");
  list.add("List C");
  list.add("List D");
  list.add("List 1");
  list.add("List 2");
  list.add("List 3");

  return list;

 }

}
