Unable to Run Spring Form based application(By using MVC architecture) - spring

I'm new to Spring.I have made an application named "BookWorkshop" using spring-3.1 by following MVC architecture.but as soon as I'm hitting the
url:http://localhost:8087/BookWorkshop I'm getting the error as follows:
org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.lang.Class' for property 'commandClass'.
I'm attaching my code herewith::

can anyone give any solution to this?????????????

Try this:
<property name="commandClass">
<value>
com.edifixio.model.UserBook
</value>
</property>

you can download a fully working spring mvc form based example from here . You can then modify that example in whatever way you want.

You can add / to
#RequestMapping(value="/LoginPage.html", method=RequestMethod.GET) like:
#RequestMapping(value= {"/", "/LoginPage.html"), method=RequestMethod.GET)
Or you can create a index page or welcome page in root path. What you met is just there is not a controller method which is mapped to /.

Spring using Netbeans-Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name Netbeans

I am very much new to developing java applications using Spring framework. I have previously developed applications using MVC architecture but this Spring is really killing me.
I mean I can't a get a single new thing right in less than hour. Anyway, I am stuck in a very common problem while handling forms. I have tried for hours, searched the web for my problem and none of them have worked. Is it something to do with Netbeans? I don't know.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'userForm' available as request attribute
As you can see from stacktrace index.jsp can't map model attribute to form parameters.
This happans because you have index.jsp in your <welcome-file-list>. So index.jsp is loaded before controller and don't have access to model values.
To solve this problem you have to:
move your index.jsp file to WEB-INF/jsp folder;
change <welcome-file-list> to this:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file></welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
or delete this tag at all.
add "/" to #RequestMapping in InsertController class.
So, now your controller will process request, add value to model and pass it to index.jsp.
Below I posted full code.
InsertController
import SpringApp.DAO.People;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;

People userForm = new People();
model.put("userForm", userForm);
return "index";
}
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String processRegistration(#ModelAttribute(value="userForm") People people,
Map<String, Object> model) {
model.put("name",people.getName());
model.put("city",people.getCity());
return "test";
}
}

it looks like your model attribute is not bind with request, make below change in your index.jsp
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%# taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form:form action="apptest.htm" modelAttribute="userForm" method="POST">
Name:<form:input path="name" />
<br>
Age:<form:input path="age" />
<br>
City:<form:input path="city" />
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<br>
</form:form>
</body>
</html>
Now be sure that you have a test.jsp having modelAttribute of People bean otherwise it will again cause of error.

Spring MVC - app with no default index page and textfield not showing

All,
A Spring newbie here.
I am trying to build a spring mvc(Sping 4.1.6 release) app. This app does not have a default landing page(like index.jsp, I have removed index.jsp from my app). This app will be called from another app by URL links or directly typing the path. My issue is I am not able to get this working. When I type localhost:8080/app/user.jsp(this is in WEB-INF/jsp folder) or localhost:8080/app/jsp/user.jsp(I would prefer not to use this path though).
Another question: I tweaked the app to have an index.jsp redirecting to user.jsp in the WEB-INF folder(not the WEB-INF/jsp) and the Controller #RequestMapping("/"), the user.jsp loads but the textbox is not displayed.

I am not sure what I am missing in both the scenarios. Thanks.
EDIT: The suggestion by minion solved my issue. Thanks.
There are couple of issues or changes you need to do. Here is the Gist of the issue :
Your spring servlet is mapped to / and the requested url is of the
pattern *.jsp. So it would never hit the controller that you wrote.
So change your controller to like one below.
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/user")
public class userController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String initForm(Model model){
user user = new user();
model.addAttribute("user", user);
System.out.println("IIIIIIIIInside user Controller");
return "user";
}
Use the url localhost:8080/app/jsp/user to hit the controller.
}

Use BindingResult class as parameter in your method.
your method should look like this
public String addStudent(#ModelAttribute #Valid Student student,ModelMap model,BindingResult result)
Spring MVC will validate the model object annotated by the #Valid annotation after binding its properties with inputs from JSP form that uses Spring’s form tags. Any constraint violations will be exposed as errors in the BindingResult object, thus we can check the violation in the controller’s method like this:
if (result.hasErrors()) {
// form validation error
} else {
// form input is ok
}
The following code will return the user to the student form when a validation error occurs. When there is no validation error, the result template will be shown
#RequestMapping(value="/addStudent", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String addStudent(#Valid Student student, BindingResult errors, Model model){
if (errors.hasErrors()) {
return "student";
}
model.addAttribute("name",student.getName());
model.addAttribute("age",student.getAge());
model.addAttribute("id",student.getId());
return "result";
}
You need to make sure that BindingResult errors is positioned exactly after #ModelAttribute #Valid Student student
Check out this and this tutorial for more info.
On another note, you should probably be redirecting the user after a successful POST. See this for more details
If you set the validation at model level you should use BindingResult:
#RequestMapping(value="/addStudent", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String addStudent(#ModelAttribute #Valid Student student,ModelMap model,BindingResult errors){
if (errors.hasErrors()) {
List<FieldError> lerr = errors.getFieldErrors();
for (FieldError err: lerr) {
// manage the errorrs
}
}
model.addAttribute("name",student.getName());
model.addAttribute("age",student.getAge());
model.addAttribute("id",student.getId());
return "result";
}
if you want to handle validation at client level you can jquery.validate.js.

This is the LoginController.java

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

public class LoginController {
#RequestMapping(value="/login", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView loginAction(#ModelAttribute("loginBean")LoginBean bean){
return new ModelAndView("success", "success", "Successful Login");
}
}
And finally my LoginBean
public class LoginBean {
private String userName;
private String password;
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
You'll have to have a ContextLoaderListener in your web.xml - It loads your configuration files.
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
You need to understand the difference between Web application context and root application context .
In the web MVC framework, each DispatcherServlet has its own WebApplicationContext, which
inherits all the beans already defined in the root WebApplicationContext. These inherited
beans defined can be overridden in the servlet-specific scope, and new scope-specific
beans can be defined local to a given servlet instance.
The dispatcher servlet's application context is a web application context which is only applicable for the Web classes . You cannot use these for your middle tier layers . These need a global app context using ContextLoaderListener .
Read the spring reference here for spring mvc .
And if you would like to use an existing context, rather than a new context which would be loaded from xml configuration by org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener,
then see -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/40694787/3004747
