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

[claire bird]

Hi,

Any help would be great!

I am getting the below error:

The controller:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/xmlstore")
public class XmlDataController {

	private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(XmlDataController.class.getName());
	
	//@RequestMapping(value="/xmlstore.jsp", method=RequestMethod.GET)
	@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
	public String setupForm(ModelMap model) throws GtException{
		
		log.warning("\n\n XmlDataController called.... ");
		
		XmlDataCommand xmlData = new XmlDataCommand();
		
		model.addAttribute("xmlData", xmlData);
		
		return "xmlstore";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.POST)
	public String onSubmit(@ModelAttribute("xmlData") @Valid XmlDataCommand xmlData, BindingResult result, RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes){
		
		
		redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute("xmlData", xmlData);
		
		return "redirect:xmlstore/sucess";
		
	}
	
	@RequestMapping("/sucess")
	public String sucess(){
		return "confirmation";
	}
	
	
	
}

The command pojo

public class XmlDataCommand implements Serializable{

	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

	@NotEmpty (message="Reference must be provided")
	private String reference;
	
	@NotEmpty (message="Website must be provided")
	private String website;
	
	public XmlDataCommand(){
		
	}
	
	public String getReference() {
		return reference;
	}
	public void setReference(String reference) {
		this.reference = reference;
	}
	public String getWebsite() {
		return website;
	}
	public void setWebsite(String website) {
		this.website = website;
	}
	
	
	
	
}

The jsp

<%@ taglib prefix="form"   uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>
<html>
	<head>
		
	</head>
	
	<body>
		
		<div id="formContainer">	

			
			<form:form comandName="xmlData" >
			

				<form:input path="reference" />
					
  
			</form:form>
        </div>
	</body>
</html>

if i remove <form:input path="reference" /> it does load the page but I cant understand why the form wont load?
