I use a modelattribute in my form and controller.

<form:form action="/admin/editingBook" modelAttribute="editingBook">
...
...
</form:form>

Controller

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/admin/editingBook")
public String updateBook(@ModelAttribute BookBean bookBean) {
}

I would like to add an information who are not in my modelAttribute, something like

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/admin/editingBook")
public String updateBook(@ModelAttribute BookBean bookBean, @RequestParam("bookName") String bookName) {
}

not sure how to do it on the jsp side and controller side

  • Add it as a request parameter. Simply add a hidden field with the name 'bookName' and it will be passed as a request parameter. Or using javascript add it to the URL `${baseUrl}+?bookName=${yourBookName}` – M. Deinum Nov 02 '13 at 09:29

Where the book name would come?

Controller side : 

 @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/admin/editingBook/{bookName}")
    public String updateBook(@ModelAttribute BookBean bookBean, @RequestParam("bookName") String bookName) {
    }

  • what if you set attribute in http request scope, pass the request and retrieve the attribute? – kyla Nov 01 '13 at 19:53
  • i tried var oldBookTitle = $('#bookTitle').data('old-book-tile'); $('#editingBook').submit(function() { $(this).attr("action", "${editBoolUrl}" + oldBookTitle); $(this).dialog('close'); }); but nothing is called on the server side – robert trudel Nov 01 '13 at 21:21
