How to load html views in spring?

My Current Working code for resolving html views is like this

<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/WEB-INF/static/html/" /> 
    <bean id="viewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".html" />
    </bean>

But i need to return view such as

return "/static/html/index";

How can i make it like this?

return "index";

if you are using spring Boot, it will automatically add static web resources located within any of the following directories:

/META-INF/resources/
/resources/
/static/
/public/

in case of consuming , restful web service it might be a good approach if you put the resources in to the public folder,and this is how your controller should look like.

@Controller
class Controller{   

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String index() {
         return "index.html";
    }

}

Change the prefix to /static/html/

     <bean id="viewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="/static/html/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".html" />
    </bean>

So when you will return as "index" it will change to /static/html/index.html.
