How to display a Java object in JSP page?

Question

I have Java object with some fields

private static Film film;
    static  {
        film = new Film();
        film.setTitle("Inception");
        film.setYear(2010);
        film.setGenre("sci-fi");
        film.setWatched(true);

I want to display all fields on my jsp page and I using this construction

<body>
${film.toString()}
</body>

But it's not working and I get just empty page. How can I fix this? Or maybe use other way?

Controler

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView allFilms() {
        ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
        modelAndView.setViewName("films");
        modelAndView.addObject("film", film);
        return modelAndView;

While the code you provided is correct, you need to provide more details. What do you mean by empty page? Does it just have an empty body or is it entirely empty? What HTTP code does the GET request return (check with curl)? — Piotr P. Karwasz

Problem was that I didn't add thymeleaf link to header xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
