title: Passing parameters from JSP to Controller in Spring MVC
body: <p>I am trying out a sample project using Spring MVC annotated Controllers. All the examples I have found online so far bind the JSP to a particular model and the controller uses <code>@ModelAttribute</code> to retrive the model object in the handler method. </p>
  
  <p>How do I go about passing other parameters (not present in the Model object) from the JSP to Controller? Do I use JavaScript to do this? Also can someone clarify what the <code>HttpServletRequest</code> object should be used for.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
