jspViewResolver and #RestController - angularjs

Question

Learning Restful web service using Spring MVC and angularJS.
Background story:
I was doing some form submission particular PUT method I was getting 405 method not allowed..
Spring MVC PUT Request returns 405 Method Not Allowed
One of the answers stated to should change to from #Controller to #RestController much cleaner implementation.
Setup:
I use jspViewResolver to direct my pages.
app-dispatcher-servlet
// -- app-dispatcher-servlet
<!-- ViewResolver JSP -->
<bean id="jspViewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/html/"></property>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"></property>
</bean>
Like so
// -- Controller
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value="/spa")
public class spaController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String pagIndex(Model model){
/* some code here */
return "spa"; // Goes to --> spa.jsp
}
}
Problem
But once I change #Controller to #RestController spa.jsp page doesn't show up just String 'spa' is returned....
Right now I created two controllers which I think is redundant... looks something like this
spaController -- handles all jsp pages
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value="/spa")
public class spaController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String pagIndex(Model model){
/* some code */
model.addAttribute("bookForm", new Book());
return "spa";
}
}
spaRestController -- rest end point
#RestController
#RequestMapping(value="/spa")
public class spaRestController {
#Autowired
private BookDao bookDao;
// Get list of books
#RequestMapping(path="/booklist", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces="application/json")
public Map<String, Object> getListBooks(){
System.out.println("method called");
List<Book> books = bookDao.getBookList();
Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<String, Object>();
data.put("results", books);
return data;
}
// Save only
#RequestMapping(path="/booklist/{id}", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
public String save(#PathVariable("id") Integer id, #RequestBody Book book, BindingResult result){
System.out.println("Save method clicked");
System.out.println(book);
System.out.println(result);
return null;
};
}
Question:
I think having two controllers is a bit redundant is there away to combine these two?
Is there a better way of handling this?
Thank you all...
