I have a Spring MVC web app that uses JSP for the View technology. In the controller I am injecting values into the ModelAndView
object that will then be used (with the respective JSP) to help construct the final HTML to return to the client-side.
The controller:
@RequestMapping(value = "/widgets.html", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView widgets(@Model Fruit fruit, @RequestParam("texture") String texture) {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
// The name of the JSP to inject and return.
max.setViewName("widgets/AllWidgets");
int buzz = calculateBuzzByTexture(texture);
mav.addObject("fruitType", fruit.getType());
mav.addObject("buzz", buzz);
return mav;
}
This controller (which handles /widgets.html
requests) does some lookups and returns the injected AllWidgets.jsp
page. In that JSP page, I need to get access to both the fruitType
and buzz
variables (inside both HTML and JS), but not sure how I can do this. For instance, assuming fruitType
is a String (and buzz
is an int
), how would I print them in both HTML and JS:
<script type="text/javascript>
alert("Buzz is " + buzz);
</script>
<div>
<h2>The type of fruit is ??? fruitType ???</h2>
</div>
Thanks in advance.
