If you created a spring controller and you want to pass an enum to your jsp page, you can do it like this:

Enum example:

public enum Coin {

    HEADS("Heads", "heads"),
    TAILS("Tails", "tails");

    private final String fullName;
    private final String shortName;

    private Coin(String fullName, String shortName) {
        this.fullName = fullName;
        this.shortName = shortName;
    }

    public String getFullName() {
        return fullName;
    }

    public String getShortName() {
        return shortName;
    }

}

Passing this enum to your model:

model.addObject("coins", Coin.values());

Using it in your jsp page with form:
