From what I can tell this is set up correctly but I am getting the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'person' available as request attribute
Form
<form action="#" th:action="@{/person}" th:object="${person}" method="post" th:required="required"> <input type="text" th:field="*{subject}" class="contact col-md-6" placeholder="Name *" th:required="required"/> <input type="text" th:field="*{name}" class="contact col-md-6" placeholder="Name *" th:required="required"/> <input type="text" th:field="*{lastName}" class="contact col-md-6" placeholder="Name *" th:required="required"/> <input type="email" th:field="*{email}" class="contact noMarr col-md-6" placeholder="E-mail address *" th:required="required"/> <textarea name="comment" class="contact col-md-12" th:field="*{message}" placeholder="Message *" ></textarea> <input type="submit" id="submit" class="contact submit" value="Send message" /> </form>
Person.java
public class Person { private int id; private String name; private String lastName; private String email; private String subject; private String message; .... }
Controller
@Controller public class ApplicationController { @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET) public String indexPage(){ return "index"; } @RequestMapping(value="/person", method=RequestMethod.GET) public String contactForm(Model model) { model.addAttribute("person", new Person()); return "index"; } @RequestMapping(value="/person", method=RequestMethod.POST) public String contactSubmit(@ModelAttribute Person person, Model model) { model.addAttribute("person", person); return "result"; } }
I looked at Spring-boot and Thmeleaf setup and it looks like my setup is identical.
---------------------Update 1-----------------------
I have changed my post method to include BindingResult with no success.
@RequestMapping(value="/person", method=RequestMethod.POST) public String contactSubmit(@Valid @ModelAttribute Person person, BindingResult bindingResult, Model model) { if(bindingResult.hasErrors()){ System.out.println("There was a error "+bindingResult); System.out.println("Person is: "+ person.getEmail()); return "index"; } model.addAttribute("person", person); return "result"; }
