multiple view resolver in spring mvc does not work - spring

Question

<bean id="velocityConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer">
<property name="resourceLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/html/"/>
</bean>
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver">
<property name="cache" value="true"/>
<property name="prefix" value=""/>
<property name="suffix" value=".html"/>
<property name="exposeSpringMacroHelpers" value="true"/>
<property name="order" value="1" />
</bean>
<bean id="jspViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="cache" value="true"/>
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value=""/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
<property name="order" value="2" />
</bean>
I have all html pages so it works fine with viewResolver but now I added jsp so created another bean with InternalResourceViewResolver. Somehow it doesn't seem to fall through jsp view resolver & gives exception SEVERE: ResourceManager : unable to find resource '/users.html' in any resource loader. when trying to access user.jsp
Controller code is
#RequestMapping("/layout")
public String getUserPage(ModelMap modelMap) {
return "users";
}

I think you should add prefix's value:
<bean id="jspViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="cache" value="true"/>
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
<property name="order" value="2" />

Spring Docs says :
The contract of a view resolver specifies that a view resolver can
return null to indicate the view could not be found. Not all view
resolvers do this, however, because in some cases, the resolver simply
cannot detect whether or not the view exists. For example, the
InternalResourceViewResolver uses the RequestDispatcher internally,
and dispatching is the only way to figure out if a JSP exists, but
this action can only execute once. The same holds for the
VelocityViewResolver and some others. Check the Javadoc for the view
resolver to see whether it reports non-existing views. Thus, putting
an InternalResourceViewResolver in the chain in a place other than the
last, results in the chain not being fully inspected, because the
InternalResourceViewResolver will always return a view!
for your code to work; Please change the order of jspViewResolver from 2 to 1 like below,
<bean id="jspViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="cache" value="true"/>
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value=""/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
<property name="order" value="1" />
as the higher the order property, the later the view resolver is positioned in the chain.
