@ModelAttribute
refers to a property of the Model object (the M in MVC ;)
so let's say we have a form with a form backing object that is called "Person"
Then you can have Spring MVC supply this object to a Controller method by using the @ModelAttribute
annotation:
public String processForm(@ModelAttribute("person") Person person){
person.getStuff();
}
On the other hand the annotation is used to define objects which should be part of a Model.
So if you want to have a Person object referenced in the Model you can use the following method:
@ModelAttribute("person")
public Person getPerson(){
return new Person();
}
This annotated method will allow access to the Person object in your View, since it gets automatically added to the Models by Spring.
See "Using @ModelAttribute".
