Post method in spring controller is not working - spring

Question

I have developed a form in jsp and in the form if user clicks submit button then the controller should capture the parameters but unfortunately it is not working.
/*<form action="http://localhost:8080/school" method="POST">*/
<form action="/school" method="POST">
School name: <input type="text" id="school" name="school" />
<input type="hidden" value="${firstName}" name = "firstName"/>
<input type="hidden" value="${lastName}" name = "lastName"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
The controller function is like this:
#RequestMapping(value = "/school", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void setSchool(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response){
String firstName= request.getParameter("firstName");
String lastName= request.getParameter("lastName");
String school= request.getParameter("school");
String status = userController.setSchool(firstName, lastName, school);
try {
if(!status.equals("SUCCESS")) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_FORBIDDEN, status);
}
response.sendRedirect("http://localhost:8080/getInsideSchool?school="+school+"&firstName="+firstName+"&lastName="+lastName);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
When i click on submit button in the form i cannot reach the controller function. How do i map url or fix this issue?
Thank you

First create a POJO
class User {
private String school;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
// getter setter constructor
}
Then write the controller method as following
#RequestMapping(value = "/school", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String home(#ModelAttribute User user) {
System.out.println(user.toString());
return "redirect:/home";
}
