[Springframework-developer] Velocity / FreeMarker request and session attributes

[Darren D. <da...@da...>]

1.1RC1 looks to have implemented a change to the behaviour in 1.0.2 for
exposing session or request attributes.  Previously, they would silently
be added to the model hiding model attributes of the same name.  Now it
throws a ServletException if a model attribute of the same name exists.

This affects one of my projects which assumes session scoped objects are
superior to controller generated values, so I now get an error page on
requests that tickle this functionality.

I think it's good to make the behaviour explicit and I'll change my
controller code to manage the change, but just to be aware - it's not 100=
%
backward compatible with 1.0.2 as advertised :-)

Cheers!
