At this point, you can either deploy and verify the EmpInfo application you have developed so far
on the NonStop system, or you can continue with the steps explained in

Decoupling View from the Controller
So far, the controller is specifying full path of the view, thereby creating unnecessary dependency
between the controller and the view. Ideally, the view must be mapped using a logical name, so
that the view can be switched without changing the controller.
To decouple the view from the controller:
1.
Modify the EmpInfo-servlet.xml file in the EmpInfo/WebContent/WEB-INF directory
to add the following bean to declare a new ViewResolver entry.
2.
Modify the EmployeeController class EmpInfo/com/hp/empinfo/web/
EmployeeController.java
to decouple the controller from view using ViewResolver
, as shown:
Before modification:
return new ModelAndView("WEB-INF/jsp/insert.jsp", "now", now);
After modification:
return new ModelAndView("insert", "now", now);
