about referenceData

[thenakedsingularity]

hi,

New to Spring. Trying to use the SimpleFormController for my forms.
for testing, I have two forms, A and B, and two corresponding controllers, Ac, and Bc. User fill out some info on A, hit submit, and goes to B.

In Ac's onSubmit, I have this:

return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView(), "model", myModel);

When I do that, the referenceData() method in Bc was never called. So I changed it to:

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView() + ".htm"), "model", myModel);

Now referenceData() gets called, but the model object was not passed.

How do I ensure both?

Thanks,

yan

Try either:

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView() + ".htm"), myModel);

or:

return new ModelAndView("forward:" + getSuccessView() + ".htm"), myModel);

Yup, tried it, but the model now is only a map of strings. it can't be a map of objects, otherwise the objects are serialized.

Did you try the second one, which should be a server side forward with the original model?
