RE: Getting to an object from JSP

The 'name' comes from the accessor methods your controller has.  In your example lets say that your 'obj' has a method called getFirstName()  Now if you want to display the persons first name you simple have a call like this in your JSP

<c:out value="${model.object1.firstName}"/>

AND your controller, whichever one is associated with this JSP has an accessor method like this

public Object1Type getObject1()
{
	return (Object1Type)this.getCtx().getRequest().getSession().getAttribute("object1");
}
