[FIXED] How to invoke a controller using a html link in Spring-mvc?

Issue

I have a jsp page called reports.jsp and I have displayed the links in the view for a user to click. How can I invoke Spring controller method by clicking on the link that will pass an argument.

Solution

You have to use @PathVariable in order to do this. Example:

Jsp:

<a href="<c:url value="/test/${object.argument}" />" >hello</a>

Controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/test/{argument}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String Controller(@PathVariable("argument") String argument) {
       ...
    }
