Question

I currently use @ModelAttribute ClassName className to “cast” my webform into a class.

@RequestMapping("/SaveEventRegistration")
public ModelAndView saveEventRegistration(@ModelAttribute EventRegistration userEventRegistration) {

I’m just wondering if I really need to do this. for there is a generic form class that list all the fields in my web form.

You can have access to the request:

@RequestMapping("/SaveEventRegistration")
public ModelAndView saveEventRegistration(HttpServletRequest request) {

And then get you form data manually using:

request.getParameter("fieldName");
