Passing parameters from jsp to Spring Controller method

Question

I am working in a Spring MVC application which uses Hibernate    In the JSP page I have a function which lists the values stored in the database currently all the value     I have written a method  where the list is only limited to an ID passed in the JSP file  I got the HQL query working right  so I know it is retrieving data based upon the ID as a parameter   Now  I would like to use this method in the controller  For that I have to pass a parameter of ID to the list  so in the controller side  the function is called which will retrieve list based upon that ID    Unfortunately I don t know how to pass parameters from a JSP file   JSP File       lt c url var  addAction  value   note add   gt  lt  c url gt   lt form form action    addAction   commandName  notices  gt       lt table

Your controller method should be like this:

@RequestMapping(value = " /<your mapping>/{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String listNotes(@PathVariable("id")int id,Model model) {
    Person person = personService.getCurrentlyAuthenticatedUser();
    int id = 2323;  // Currently passing static values for testing
    model.addAttribute("person", new Person());
    model.addAttribute("listPersons", this.personService.listPersons());
    model.addAttribute("listNotes",this.notesService.listNotesBySectionId(id,person));
    return "note";
}

Use the id in your code, call the controller method from your JSP as:

/{your mapping}/{your id}

UPDATE:

Change your jsp code to:

<c:forEach items="${listNotes}" var="notices" varStatus="status">
    <tr>
        <td>${notices.noticesid}</td>
        <td>${notices.notetext}</td>
        <td>${notices.notetag}</td>
        <td>${notices.notecolor}</td>
        <td>${notices.sectionid}</td>
        <td>${notices.canvasid}</td>
        <td>${notices.canvasnName}</td>
        <td>${notices.personid}</td>
        <td><a href="<c:url value='/editnote/${listNotes[status.index].noticesid}' />" >Edit</a></td>
        <td><a href="<c:url value='/removenote/${listNotes[status.index].noticesid}' />" >Delete</a></td>
    </tr>
</c:forEach>

Use the  RequestParam to pass a parameter to the controller handler method   In the jsp your form should have an input field with name    id  like the following     lt input type  text  name  id    gt   lt input type  submit    gt    Then in your controller  your handler method should be like the following     RequestMapping  listNotes   public String listNotes  RequestParam  id   int id        Person person   personService getCurrentlyAuthenticatedUser        model addAttribute  person   new Person         model addAttribute  listPersons   this personService listPersons         model addAttribute  listNotes   this notesService listNotesBySectionId id  person        return  note       Please also refer to these answers and tutorial    Stackoverflow    How take the parameter value of a GET HTTP Request  Stackoverflow    Which Signature to use in spring s controller methods  Tutorial    Spring MVC Annotations
