reference data

[ychawla]

Hello All,
I am just starting to use the reference data method in cancellableformcontroller to populate some data on my jsp page.

The method I have so far is simple:

protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request)
{
Map referenceDataModel = new HashMap();
referenceDataModel.put("testData", "This is my data");
logger.debug ("Were getting here" + referenceDataModel.toString());
return referenceDataModel;
}

How do I access this 'testData' on my JSP page? I tried using:
THIS IS THE VALUE: <c:out value="${model.testData}"/>!

but no success. I thought that this 'testData' field would just get merged into the model that is returned to the form view.

Any ideas or links you can point me to?

Thanks!

I thought that this 'testData' field would just get merged into the model that is returned to the form view.

You are exactly right, it does

THIS IS THE VALUE: <c:out value="${model.testData}"/>!

Do you reference anything else with "model."? Answer: no

THIS IS THE VALUE: <c:out value="${testData}"/>!

<c:out value="${testData}"/>

Thanks Lumpynose and Yatesco,
I think I was having a deployment problem. I redeployed and all data passed through as expected.
