In Spring MVC How to get form object in JSP from controller ? -

i trying form object in jsp controller. jsp :: updateuser.jsp

  <form name="user" action="updateuser" method="post">         <ul>         <li>             <label>user name</label> <input type="text" name="username" />         </li>         <li>             <label>password</label> <input type="password" name="password" />         </li>         <li>             <label>firstname</label> <input type="text" name="firstname" />         </li>         <li>             <label>lastname</label> <input type="text" name="lastname" />         </li>         </ul>         <button type="submit">update</button> </form> 

controller :: updateusercontroller.java

  @requestmapping("/updateuser")     public class updateusercontroller {         @requestmapping(method = requestmethod.post)         public modelandview update(@modelattribute("user") user user,                                        modelmap model,httpservletrequest request) {              return new modelandview("updateuser","user",model);         }     } 

after adding values in field , clicking on update button. form gets submitted , in mapped pojo i'm getting value. want show values in fields without adding model object (i.e. model.addattribute("username", user.getusername()) 1 one fields). dont want use spring tag library. how can populate values in form ??

with @modelattribute putting user object in model, don't need add again returned modelandview. model attributes added request attributes, can use el resolve them in jsp.

<c:out value="${user.username}" />
