== Why is this an issue?

Spring Expression Language (SpEL) is an expression language used in the Spring Framework for evaluating and manipulating objects, properties, and conditions within Spring-based applications.

`org.springframework.ui.Model` is an interface in the Spring Framework that represents a container for data that can be passed between a controller and a view in a Spring MVC web application, allowing for data sharing during the request-response cycle.

Attributes added to the `org.springframework.ui.Model` should follow the Java identifier naming convention, which means they must start with a letter `a-z, A-Z`, underscore `_`, or a dollar sign `$` and may be followed by letters, digits, underscores, or dollar signs.

Failure to do so may result in SpEL parsing errors when using these attributes in template engines.

== How to fix it

Follow the Java identifier naming convention.

=== Code examples

==== Noncompliant code example

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
model.addAttribute(" a", 100); // Noncompliant (starts with a space)
model.addAttribute("a-b", 7);  // Noncompliant (contains a hyphen)
model.addAttribute("1c", 42);  // Noncompliant (starts with a digit)
----

==== Compliant solution

[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
model.addAttribute("a", 100);
model.addAttribute("b", 42);
model.addAttribute("_c", 7);
model.addAttribute("$d", 8);
----
