spring boot - displaying object data from controller in JSP

I have a User class, two JSP and one controller. I want to register a user, store their details in a database (H2) and display user's name after registration.

This is my home.jsp -

<form action="addUser">
    <label>Name: </label><input type="text" name="name"/>
    <label>Id: </label><input type="number" name="id"/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

This is my controller -

package com.example.demo;

import java.util.Optional;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
public class HomeController {

    @Autowired
    UserRepo usrrepoobj;
    
    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String home()
    {
        return "home.jsp";
    }
    
    @RequestMapping("addUser")
    public ModelAndView addUser(@RequestParam int id, User usr)
    {
        usrrepoobj.save(usr);
        User obj = usrrepoobj.findById(id).orElse(null);
        ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
        mv.addObject(obj);
        mv.setViewName("afterRegister.jsp");
        
        //EVEN THIS DOESNT WORK
//      usrrepoobj.save(usr);
//      User obj = usr;
//      ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
//      mv.addObject(obj);
//      mv.setViewName("afterRegister.jsp");
        //EVEN THIS DOESNT WORK
        
        return mv;
    }
    
}

This is my afterRegister.jsp -

Registered as ${obj.name}

The object gets added to the database. What am I doing wrong when it comes to displaying the data in the next JSP?

Propably you don't know the ID of added user, thats why your findById return always null. Just return user from save() method. Show your entity of user.

@RequestMapping("addUser")
public String addUser(@RequestParam int id, User usr, Model model)
{
    User obj = usrrepoobj.save(usr);
    model.addAttribute("obj", obj);
    
    return "afterRegister.jsp";
}

Make the below change in controller:

usrrepoobj.save(usr);
        User obj = usrrepoobj.findById(id).orElse(null);
        ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
        mv.addObject("object",obj); //change this
        mv.setViewName("afterRegister.jsp");

In afterRegister.jsp -

Registered as ${object.name}
