can you please guide me how to solve this error.
And if you need more information, let me know.
Thanks :)
EDIT User.java
public class User {
private Long id;
private String name;
private String userName;
private String password;
private Date dateOfBirth;
public User() {
}
public User(Long id, String name, String userName, String password, Date dateOfBirth) {
super();
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.userName = userName;
this.password = password;
this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth;
}
//getters setters ommitted
}

Your put mapping expects 'edit' in the end #PutMapping(path = "/{id}/edit") but your form's action <form:form action="../${user.id}" does not have the edit so the controller can't intercept the action.
