Spring form binding error

Hi,
I am in the developing of a Spring database application for user registration and login authentication. After configuring beans in dispatcher-servlet properly, I used Spring bind tag and form tags in that
In my jsp I used

<form:form>
<Spring:bind path="loginUser.username">
<input type="text" name="<c

ut value='${status.expression}'/>"
value="<c

ut value='${status.value}'/>" size="20"/>
</Spring:bind>

..........
.........

</form:form>

I have the bean configured in the xml file with the id "loginUser" with two properties with the names "username" and "password" and they have values set.

When I try to bind the form inputs to command object the following error comes.

Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'loginUser' available as request attribute.

Also I used the

setCommandName(LoginUser.class);

setCommandClass("loginUser");

methods inside the LoginController's constructor.

Could anybody explain how to bind form inputs to command object and retrieve it.

Thanks

what you have to do is to set a request scoped attribute 'loginUser' to hold the data object.

Using the standard Spring MVC classes, you would have something like this in your controller :

The Spring form tag classes will search the request for attribute with the name 'loginUser' to populate the form field.
