Display messages from controller on top of JSP page

[ashish kulkarni]

Is there any good way of putting messages from controller to JSP pages, for examples in JSF i can use FacesContext and populate messages in this context and they are available to be displayed in JSP page,
Is there a similar kind of mechanism in spring and mvc

Hi,
You can send your message along with the ModelAndView then use that in the jsp.

Does anyone have an example of how to do it,
If my controller is like, it does not have Model, how can i get instance of Model in my controller

 @RequestMapping(value="/displayagency")
    public String displayagency(@RequestParam("agencyId") Long agencyId) throws Exception{
   //some logic here
  return "pathtojsp";
}
