Try returning a String instead, and the String being the forward url.
@RequestMapping({"/getData"}) public String execute(Model model) {

if (someCondition) {
    return "forward:/parentsUrl";
} else {
    return "forward:/childUrl";
}
}

Why not put the other controller's url in the modelAndView which your handler method returns? Does calling the controller method directly the same as forwarding it?

You can see here various ways to redirect using spring mvc 3.0.

UPDATE:

If you are more interested in forwarding, you should make your controllers available in this controller, and just call the method you wish to forward to.
