spring form validating and remember values - spring

Question

I am trying to make a registration form and validate it. If it does not validate return on the register page but with remember values.
In my controller I have:
#RequestMapping("/register")
public String showRegister(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("cmsuser", new CMSUser());
return "register";
}
#RequestMapping("/createaccount")
public String createAccount(Model model, #Valid CMSUser user, BindingResult result) {
System.out.println(user.toString());
if(result.hasErrors()) {
return "register";
}
user.setPower(1);
cmsUserService.createCMSUser(user);
return "accountcreated";
}
and in my register.jsp:
<sf:form name="f" action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/cms/createaccount" method="POST" commandName="cmsuser">
<sf:input type="text" name="userName" path="userName" class="form-control text-sm m-b" placeholder="Enter Username"/>
<sf:input type="password" name="password" path="password" class="form-control text-sm m-b" placeholder="Enter Password"/>
<sf:input type="text" name="email" path="email" class="form-control text-sm m-b" placeholder="Your email adress"/>
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-success l-100 border-radius" name="submit" type="submit" value="Login" data-dismiss="modal"><i class="fa fa-arrow-right m-r"></i>Register</button>
</span>
</sf:form>
So, I have commandName="cmsuser" and I add this to model in my controller model.addAttribute("cmsuser", new CMSUser());
If I complete all the fields user will be saved in database. But if the form does not validate I get 2 errors:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /WEB-INF/cms-jsp/register.jsp at line 21

I can't see what is wrong in my jsp file at line 21 and I have cmsuser declared in my form and added it in the model.

Answer 1

You should annotate CMUser with #ModelAttribute annotation as below
public String createAccount(Model model, #Valid #ModelAttribute("cmsuser") CMSUser user, BindingResult result) {
Also in your JSP change commandName="cmsuser" to modelAttribute="cmsuser"
