Spring 3 - What's the standard way of sending @RequestParam values back to the view?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6349694

Question

I have a simple controller that handles a submit with a couple of parameters, not so much that I would consider creating a command object to store them.

In my controller I have annotated the parameters with @RequestParam but I have to send these values to the view and I don't know what's the best way of doing it.

If I had a command object I could use the modelAttribute on the html:form tag to bind the parameters but I don't want to create a command object for just a bunch of fields.

What is the preferred way of sending the values to the view (request attributes, model attributes ... )?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'd say model attributes. Something like

@RequestMapping("/path")
public void test(@RequestParam("q") String q, ModelMap model) {
    model.put("q", q);
}

On front end you could print it using your favourite approach. A sample with JSTL

<html> 
   ...
   <c:out value="${q}" />
 </html>
