So if you want to have a Person object referenced in the Model you can use the following method:</p> <pre><code>@ModelAttribute("person") public Person getPerson(){ return new Person(); } </code></pre> <p>This annotated method will allow access to the Person object in your View, since it gets automatically added to the Models by Spring. </p> <p>See <a href="http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-ann-modelattrib-methods" rel="noreferrer">"Using @ModelAttribute on a method"</a> (Spring 3.1).</p> <p>Hope this helped.</p>
