Spring Sending Data From Controller to UI:-
ModelAndView is a common Object to send data controller and UI page. ModelAndView
had a method addObject(String key,Object value), is used to add data to MAV Object. Using
this same key we have to retrieve data at UI level.
Ex:
Sending Primitive Values at Controller:
package com.app;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@RequestMapping("/welcome")
public ModelAndView welcome(){
ModelAndView mav=new ModelAndView("welcome");
mav.addObject("empId", 100);
mav.addObject("empName", "AJ");
mav.addObject("empSal", 250.36);
return mav;
}
JSP Code to Read Data:
Welcome.jsp
<h1>Data is :</h1>
<b>${empId},${empName},${empSal}</b>
<%=req.getAttribute(“empId”)%>
Sending Object Data at Controller:
package com.app;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@RequestMapping("/welcome")
public ModelAndView welcome(){
ModelAndView mav=new ModelAndView("welcome");
Employee emp=new Employee();
emp.setEmpId(10);
emp.setEmpName("AJ");
emp.setEmpSal(12.35);
mav.addObject("empObj", emp);
return mav;
}
Reading data at JSP page:-
<b> ${empObj.empId},${empObj.empName},${empObj.empSal}</b>
Or
<% Employee emp=req.getAttribute(“empObj”);
Out.print(emp.getEmpId());
%>
Sending Collection Data from Controller:
package com.app;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@RequestMapping("/welcome")
public ModelAndView welcome(){
ModelAndView mav=new ModelAndView("welcome");
Employee emp=new Employee();
emp.setEmpId(10);
emp.setEmpName("AJ");
emp.setEmpSal(12.35);
Employee emp2=new Employee();
emp2.setEmpId(10);
emp2.setEmpName("AJ");
emp2.setEmpSal(12.35);
Employee emp3=new Employee();
emp3.setEmpId(10);
emp3.setEmpName("AJ");
emp3.setEmpSal(12.35);
List<Employee> empListObj=new ArrayList<Employee>();
empListObj.add(emp);
empListObj.add(emp2);
empListObj.add(emp3);
mav.addObject("empListObj", empListObj);
return mav;
}
Reading Data At JSP Level:
<c:forEach items="${empListObj}" var="emp">
<c:out value="${emp.empId}"/>,<c:out value="${emp.empName}"/>,<c:out
value="${emp.empSal}"/><br/>
</c:forEach>
or
<%
List empList=request.getAttribute("empListObj");
Iterator iterator= empList.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()){
Employee emp=(Employee)iterator.next();
out.println(emp);
}
%>
For JSTL code:
Add below line in JSP:
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
Download and Add JSTL JAR in lib folder:
Location : http://central.maven.org/maven2/javax/servlet/jstl/1.2/jstl-1.2.jar
