Process a submit with a Model object without using a form?

[stackie]

Let me explain a little bit more. My current code uses the following where my command object binds based on param names

protected ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
			Object command, BindException errors) throws Exception 
{

MyModelObject object  = (MyModelObject) command;

}

I have an external system that builds a URL and invokes my webapp where i use it to query a database to display a list of details on a webpage.

The URL is: /icp/ca?ca=1234&ucrn1=3333&ucrn2=7777&ucrnN....

This maps to a MyModelObject object which is just a plain bean (using command objects as above). What Im looking for is something like

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String processSubmit(@ModelAttribute MyModelObject  modelObject.......) 
{
     // process
}

I am not using a form for submission. Do I have to write a custom editor? Apologies if I'm being a bit dim, I've got pet-clinic checked out so maybe missed something there that would help.

Sorry, maybe I did not understood you properly..
What you need to ensure is that the external system which is opening the URL is able to POST your page containing the command object...
