Since you mentioned modules folder in the prefix of viewResolver it is working like that..

        
            /modules/
        
        
            .jsp
        
    

Which means return "branch/branchInsert" will find jsp in /modules/branch/branchInsert.jsp.

If you use just string to return means it's just an path from the jsp where you are sending the requset.So for that viewResolver wont add prefix folder.

But if you use ModelAndView the viewResolver will add the prefix and suffix.
