I have what should be an easy issue to solve, but I'm having no luck.
In my servlet-servlet.xml file, I have the following beans (in addition to others):
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
<context:component-scan base-package="com.servlet.web" />
My test controller looks like this:
package com.servlet.web;
import java.util.Map;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class TestController
{
protected final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());
@RequestMapping("/test")
public String methodName(Map<String, Object> map) {
map.put("someMessage", "some string here");
return "test";
}
}
My jsp view looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>servlet.com</title>
</head>
<body>
${someMessage}
</body>
</html>
So, when I view the jsp, I'd expect the value of someMessage (some string here), but I only get the following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>servlet.com</title>
</head>
<body>
${someMessage}
</body>
</html>
When I crank up the logging, I see that my someMessage object is being place in the model:
22:21:17,425 DEBUG DispatcherServlet:852 - DispatcherServlet with name 'servlet' determining Last-Modified value for [/servlet/access/test]
22:21:17,426 DEBUG DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping:183 - Mapping [/test] to handler 'com.servlet.web.TestController@762fef'

22:21:17,429 DEBUG DispatcherServlet:666 - Successfully completed request
Obviously, my view is mapped correctly, but I can't seem to access model objects added to the request in the view. I've done this type of thing with Spring MVC many times in the past, but I must be missing something obvious here. Any ideas? Thanks.
