Return "View" inside "Json" with Spring MVC

Question

I'm using Spring MVC, and I need return in the Controller, a Json object that contains the view, by example, the related jsp page.

return: { name: "fragment-form", other-info:"other-info", view: view}

where "view" should be the JSP page linked to your ModelAndView

I read other post, but I not find the solution, because I need that controller to the work, if it's posible.

Sugestions?

EDIT:

I have a form with your values, and the submit, from javascript execute this follow code:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public Object create(@Valid @RequestBody PatientForm form, HttpServletResponse response) {
  ModelMap map = new ModelMap();
  map.put("form", form);

return new ModelAndView("addPatientForm", map);
}

I need return a Json where the "ModelAndView("addPatientForm", map)" processed within the json that is returned.

Would something like this work for you:

@RequestMapping(value="/somepage", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public ResponseEntity<String> generateViewasJSON(){
        JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
json.put("name","fragment-form");
        ...
        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.set(  "Content-Type", "application/json" );
        return new ResponseEntity<String>( json.toString(), headers, HttpStatus.OK );
    }
