Spring @ModelAttribute and @SessionAttribute behaviour

What is the best way to use SessionAttributes and ModelAttributes together? When I use, for example, a tagged ModelAttribute method and the SessionAttribute on the class, then the POJO is added to session, but in other controller that uses the same name for this kind of ModelAttribute then it does not retrieve the one I want but takes the one present in the session.

Then, what is the best way to manage the behaviour of ModelAttributes with SessionAttributes? Thanks.

Solution

  • When you have done with the model in the session (I assume you just want to use that 'model in session' in specific Controller only) you have to set mySessionStat.setComplete() where in the parameter you declare SessionStatus mySessionStat
