Spring MVC - accessing model from jsp/javascript view

[jerk47]

Hi,

Apologies for the ignorance - I'm quite new to all the technologies/frameworks etc mentioned below..

I have a Spring MVC 3 application (running on Google Apps Engine) where the controller populates some data from a database (a list of "Entry" objects) and sends them to the view which is in JSP and also uses some javascript (to generate a google map).

I need to access the model from a javascript function. How would I go about it? Here's a pseudo-pseudo () code of what I want to do:

// inside a javascript function
for (Entry : model.entries) {
   x = entry.getCoords.getX();
   y = entry.getCoords.getY();
   ...
   // and then call javascript function
   jsFunction(x, y, ...);
}

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks

//inside javascript funtion
<c:if test="${not empty entries}">
     <c:foreach var="entry" items="entries">
          x = <c:out value="${entry.coords.x}"/>;
          y = <c:out value="${entry.coords.y}"/>;
          ...
          // and then call javascript function
          jsFunction(x, y, ...);

     </c:foreach>
</c:if>

assumes your list of stuff is called entries in the model
