ModelMap object is used to pass multiple values from Spring MVC controller to JSP .
Some basics about Spring MVC ModelMap class:
- ModelMap class subclasses LinkedHashMap. It add some methods for convenience.
- It provides addAttribute method to put key value pair. This method return ModelMap objects that can be used for chaining.
- ModelMap uses
- ModelMap checks for null values.
Example:
Prerequisite:
You need to create spring mvc hello world example first.
Once you are done with spring mvc sample project. We need to add or modify following files.
- Make changes to HelloWorldController.java
- Modify index.jsp
- Modify hello.jsp
Thats all we need to do to demonstrate Spring MultiActionController example.
1) change HelloWorldController.java as below
package org.arpit.java2blog.springmvc.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {
@RequestMapping("/helloworld")
public String hello(ModelMap map) {
String helloWorldMessage = "Hello world from java2blog!";
String welcomeMessage = "Welcome to java2blog!";
map.addAttribute("helloMessage", helloWorldMessage);
map.addAttribute("welcomeMessage", welcomeMessage);
return "hello";
}
}
We have added two attributes to ModelMap and they will be used in jsp with helloMessage and welcomeMessage
2) Modify index.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>HelloWorld Click here to read hello and welcome message
3)Modify hello.jsp in /WEB_INF folder.
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
Hello
${helloMessage}
${welcomeMessage}
