1) The contents of the modelMap are implicit in the JSP. You don't need to specify 'model' when you access them.

2) JSP-EL accesses fields via bean property accessors, not invoking methods. You don't specify the 'get' to call an actual method. You use the bean property name. e.g., ${person.firstName} to get the result of person.getFirstName();

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String home(Model model) {
    Person person = new Person();
    person.setFirstName("Kai");
    person.setLastName("Cooper");
    model.addAttribute("person", person);
    return "home";
}

        FirstName: ${person.firstName}
        LastName: ${person.lastName}
