Issue with bindFromRequest in Play! Framework 2.3

Question

I\'m trying to use the automatic binding feature of Play, without success. I\'m developing in Java, on Eclipse 4.4 Luna.

Here is my form :

Answer 1

I have been struggling with exactly the same problem: bindFromRequest returned nulls for "name" field. I did exactly the same what a guy in this Play for Java introduction video did: youtube.com/watch?v=bLrmnjPQsZc . But still no luck. I've been working on Windows 7 with JDK 1.8. IDE: Eclipse 4.4.0. And I run activator through cygwin.

This is what solved the problem for me:

1. In Eclipse: Project -> Build Automatically - > turn off
2. In cygwin: ./activator clean; ./activator compile; ./activator run;

After this, bindFromRequest binds name correctly and puts it into the database.
