form:checkbox/form:<anything> not rendering/displaying in Spring 4, input type="radio”/input type="checkbox" does - spring

Question

I have been asked to upgrade an application that was using Spring 3 (3.1.4.RELEASE and 3.2.5.RELEASE in POM) and have gone to (4.2.2.RELEASE and 4.3.8.RELEASE) respectively (for numerous dependencies. The application used to render correctly, show the JSP but now using any of the existing form:checkbox/form:radiobutton/form:input/form:errors work as the page is just blank, no errors. When I re-write the code and use input type="checkbox”/input type="radio" etc the page now shows ok.
I have looked around loads of examples/forums but nothing I have tried has helped. Am I missing some configuration change elsewhere that is needed? The server is WildFly too, but the application worked fine on this using Spring 3 dependencies.
Example of the JSP (with form:radiobutton/form:checkbox commented out and the other code below it that displays ok), called manageUser.jsp :-
<%# taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>
<%# taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"%>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt"%>
<%# taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>
<%# taglib uri = "http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix = "form"%>

<c:if test="${infoFlag}">

In another file called tiles-definition.xml it has the JSP filename:-
<definition name="manageUser" template="/WEB-INF/tiles/layout/user/manageUser.jsp" />
In the Controller, it has (with irrelevant other parts removed):
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/admin")
public class UserControllerImpl extends AbstractCommonController implements UserController {
Below is used in JSP
#ModelAttribute("userStatusList")
public Set<UserStatus> populateUserStatus(){
return userHelper.getUserStatusCollection();
}
#ModelAttribute("userGroup")
public Set<UserGroup> populateUserGroup(){
return userHelper.getUserGroupCollection();
}
…
#RequestMapping("/manageUser.do")
public String manageUser(Map<String, Object> model, HttpServletRequest request){
model.put("user", new UserTo());
return "manageUser";
}
…
}
dispatcher-servlet.xml (has the below in it along with some other parts that are needed):-
…
<bean id="jspViewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass"
value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
<property name="order" value="1"/>
</bean>
POM.xml has (old version commented out, new added in) :-

Any help is much appreciated as I have been thrown in the deep end not knowing too much about Spring and would like to understand and get the original form:radiobutton/form:checkbox/etc working (displaying) and not use the re-written style. Is anything else required for suggestions?
