Hi Everyone,
I am new to Spring. I tried to execute a simple user login program. I got the following error
Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'user' available as request attribute
My code is as follows
login.jsp
<%@ include file="taglibs.jsp" %>
<%@ include file="header.jsp" %>
<html>
<body bgcolor="lightblue" text="yellow">
<%--<form:form commandName="user" action="/loginUser.htm" method="post">
<form:errors path="user"/>
<form:input path="username"/><br>
<script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("username").focus();</script>
<form
assword path="password"/><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form:form>
--%>
<form:form action="/loginUser.htm" method="post" commandName="user">
<spring:bind path="username">
<input type="text" name='<c
ut value="${status.expression}"/>' value='<c
ut value="${status.value}"/>'><br>
</spring:bind>
<spring:bind path="password">
<input type="text" name='<c
ut value="${status.expression}"/>' value='<c
ut value="${status.value}"/>'><br>
</spring:bind>
<spring:hasBindErrors name="user">
<font color="red"><c
ut value="${status.errorMessage}"/></font>
</spring:hasBindErrors>
<%--<spring:hasBindErrors name="user.password">
<font color="red"><c
ut value="${status.errorMessage}"/></font>
</spring:hasBindErrors>
--%>
<input type="submit" value="Login"/>
</form:form>
</body>
