Retrieving the tweets of a Twitter user

In this recipe, you'll learn how to retrieve the last tweets of a Twitter user from a Spring web application.

Getting ready

This recipe uses the code from the Connecting to Twitter recipe.

How to do it…

Here are the steps to retrieve the last tweets of a Twitter user:

In the TwitterController class, add a Model argument to the tw() method:

@RequestMapping("/fw")
public String fb(HttpServletRequest request, Model model) {
...

In that method, use the Twitter object to retrieve the user's tweets:
```
List<Tweet> tweets = twitter.timelineOperations().getUserTimeline();
```
Pass the list of tweets to the JSP view:
```
model.addAttribute("tweets", tweets);
```

In the JSP, display the list of tweets:

<c:forEach items="${tweets}" var="tweet">
  <p>${tweet.text}</p>
</c:forEach>
