Q:

Nothing printed on jsp for added model object

I am getting a strange behavior below:
I am adding a model object in Spring Controller, when I access the same using jstl in jsp, I get nothing over there.
My project is REST based built on Java 1.8+ Tomcat 8.0+ Maven.
My maven project is named reporting having modules reporting-rest and reporting-dao.
Jsp pages and controllers are located in reporting-rest.
