SPRING COOKBOOK
By :
In this recipe, you will learn how to display a text field, textarea field, password field, and hidden field using Spring form tags. When the form is submitted, we will retrieve the field value in a controller method.
Here are the steps to display and process text fields:
If a default value is necessary, use a String attribute of the default object (refer to the Setting a form's default values using a model object recipe):
user.setFirstName("Joe");In the JSP, use one of these Spring form tags:
<form:input path="firstName" /> <form:textarea path="firstName" /> <form:password path="firstName" /> <form:hidden path="firstName" />
In the controller method processing the form submission, make sure that the @ModelAttribute object has a corresponding String attribute:
public class User {
private String firstName;
...The Spring form tag generates the HTML form field and populates it with the default value...
