protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request)

[Manpreet Singh]

Hi,
Inside my class i have method

protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
		Map referenceData = new HashMap();
		referenceData.put("states", ALL_STATES);
		return referenceData;
}

can anyone please tell how to access referenceData property in JSP page.

It couldn't be easier because spring automagically adds the contents of the map returned by the referenceData method to the model using the same keys you provided.

In your example, your view (jsp) could then directly access "states" from the model.

ie.

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