Spring Model Attribute

• Spring MVC calls the pieces of data that can be accessed during the execution of views model attributes.The equivalent term in Thymeleaf language is context variables.
  • Add model attribute to Spring MVC:
    • model.addAttribute
  • Return ModelAndView with model attributes included:
    • ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView(“message/list”);
      • mav.addObject(“messages”, messageRepository.findAll());
        • return mav;
  • Expose common attributes via methods annotated @ModelAttribute:
    • @ModelAttribute(“messages”)
      public List messages() { return messageRepository.findAll(); } -- - Source:
