Problem with getSuccessView

[Siddharth Bhargava]

Hi All,
I am developing an application of Spring with hibernate. The problem is my data is getting saved in the database, but the success page is not being rendered.

RegisterController.java

    
public class RegisterController extends SimpleFormController {
 
private UserDaoImpl userDaoImpl;

//private HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;

static Logger log = Logger.getLogger("com.springmvchibernate.controllers.RegisterController");

public ModelAndView onSubmit(Object command) {

log.info("Inside ModelAndView of Register Controller !!!");

String firstName = ((User)command).getFirstName();
String lastName = ((User)command).getLastName();

userDaoImpl.insertUser((User)command);

log.info("Done with Insertion !!!");

log.info("First Name :  " + firstName);
log.info("Last Name : " + lastName);

RedirectView view = new RedirectView(getSuccessView());

log.info("View URL: "+view.getUrl());

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView());
}
 
public UserDaoImpl getUserDaoImpl() {
return userDaoImpl;
}
 
public void setUserDaoImpl(UserDaoImpl userDaoImpl) {
this.userDaoImpl = userDaoImpl;
}
}

springhibernate-servlet.xml

 
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
<a href="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd"></a>
 

<bean id="userDaoImpl" class="com.springmvchibernate.dao.UserDaoImpl">
<property name="hibernateTemplate">
<ref bean="hibernateTemplate"/>
</property>
</bean>
 

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename">

</bean>

<bean name="/register.do" class="com.springmvchibernate.controllers.RegisterController">
<property name="sessionForm" value="true"/>
<property name="commandName" value="register"/>
<property name="commandClass" value="com.springmvchibernate.vo.User"/>

<property name="formView" value="registrationform"/>
<property name="successView" value="success"/>
<property name="userDaoImpl">
<ref bean="userDaoImpl"/>
</property>
</bean>



<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"></property>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsps/"></property>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"></property>
</bean>

</beans>

registrationform

   
<form:form method="post" commandName="register">
<table>
<tr>
<td>First Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="firstName" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="lastName" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="address" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Age:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="age" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
</form:form>
 

One thing to notice is that the registrationform is rendered correctly, but the successView isn't. I also to use

    
return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView(),true));

in the RegisterController but its also not working.


Please Help as I am not able to resolve this issue. If any further clarifications are needed then please do tell me.

I don't know Struts MVC well, but could it be that you are trying to redirect browser to ".../success".

I have 2 suggestions:
- Install Firefox with LiveHTTPHeaders extension. Then you can see what redirect is sent to browser.
- Try to use "new RedirectView("success.jsp",true)" and see if this works.

getSuccessView() returns the name of the view. Only the name, not a path. You need to pass a path to the RedirectView, not a view name.

How do i do this ?? Please give me a code snippet to cleat my concept.

How do i get my success page to be rendered. My success page is not coming although the data is being saved. It says :

HTTP Status 404 - /springhibernateapplication/success

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /springhibernateapplication/success

description The requested resource (/springhibernateapplication/success) is not available.

Instead of using a RedirectView, try to use the redirect prefix :

return new ModelAndView("redirect:"+getSuccessView());

[Siddharth Bhargava]

This is also not working ......

Ok, sorry for posting garbage. I think that if you want to redirect to success.jsp, without using a controller, you'll have to give the path to the JSP, which means that it cannot be a path under WEB-INF. For example, in your context file :

<bean name="/register.do" class="com.kuriqoo.controller.RegisterController">
<property name="sessionForm" value="true"/>
<property name="commandName" value="register"/>
<property name="commandClass" value="com.kuriqoo.model.User"/>
 
<property name="formView" value="registrationform"/>
<property name="successView" value="redirect:/jsps/success.jsp"/>
<property name="userDaoImpl">
<ref bean="userDaoImpl"/>
</property>
</bean>

Your controller. The whole point behind the "redirect:" prefix is to hide from the controller the fact that we are redirecting:

return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView());

Under your root, you make a "jsps" directory and put success.jsp in it.

If you want to keep success.jsp under WEB-INF/jsps, I think that you'll have to make a controller in order to forward the request to the view, and make your successview look like :

<property name="successView" value="redirect:/showSuccess"/>

If you don't go through a second controller, I don't see why you are redirecting anyway. You should be forwarding to the success page normally :

<bean name="/register.do" class="com.kuriqoo.controller.RegisterController">
<property name="sessionForm" value="true"/>
<property name="commandName" value="register"/>
<property name="commandClass" value="com.kuriqoo.model.User"/>
 
<property name="formView" value="registrationform"/>
<property name="successView" value="success"/>
<property name="userDaoImpl">
<ref bean="userDaoImpl"/>
</property>
</bean>

and

return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView());

The big question is, why are you redirecting ?

Dear Sidharth,

I m learning Spring and Hiberate, Your sample code looks like very easy to understand, can you please post send me your src to understand SpringMVC and Hibernate
