I had this problem for some time . I used a 'hackish' way to access a variable added as a modal attribute in the backend .

let say you have added "some-data" to the model like follows.

model.addAttribute("some-data-id", "some-data");

in the jsp where the ctrl is initializing add the attribute to a hidden html element such as a span

${some-data-id}

and in the controller , retrieve the value using angular.element('#some-data-id').innerHTML
