How a commandObject is accessible in view without passing in model in spring mvc

[vishnu priyag]

Hi,

I have googled about this well, but couldn't able to get the answer.

@RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.GET)
	public String getOrderForm(Order order) {	
		return "orderForm";
	}

In the above handler method, i didn't pass the order object to model, but it is still accessible in orderForm view.
How this is happening without @ModelAttribute / model.addAttribute("order", order);

is every object similar to order in handler method parameters is automatically available in model?
Can someone please clarify my doubt

Thanks in advance.

I don't use Spring MVC much and especially not for web pages, since I prefer JSF. But pretty much every web MVC framework I've ever used has been template-based and the UI Model object(s) are referenced in the template, not in the controller logic. So I'd look at the "orderForm".

can you post the jsp code?
What happens when you click 'Submit'?
