I am new to Spring MVC, but not new to Java web development. I am trying to create a simple example form-> controller.
I have a form, a form controller (configured in the XML context, inserted below) and my model (simple bean). When I submit the form, the value of my text input is always zero, regardless. Any ideas?
Spring form controller configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean name="/home.html" class="atc.web.view.controller.HomeController" />
<bean name="/url-cache.html" class="atc.web.view.controller.URLCacheFormController">
<property name="synchronizeOnSession" value="true" />
<property name="commandName" value="urlForm"/>
<property name="commandClass" value="atc.web.view.model.URLBean"/>
<property name="validator">
<bean class="atc.web.view.validators.URLValidator"/>
</property>
<property name="formView" value="mirror"/>
<property name="successView" value="url-cache.html"/>
<property name="URLCachingService" ref="urlCachingService" />
</bean>
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
<bean id="breakcrumbInjectionFilter" class="atc.web.view.filter.BreadcrumbInjectionFilter">
<property name="contextPrefix" value="/home-web" />
</bean>
</beans>
The JSP containing my form is as follows:
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jspf/core/taglibs.jspf" %>
<html>
<head><title>Simple tools</title></head>
<style>
.error s {
color:#FF0000;
}
</style>
<body>
<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jspf/nav/nav.jspf" %>
Errors: <form:errors path="url" cssClass="error"/>
<form:form method="post" commandName="urlForm">
<form:input path="url" />
<input type="submit" align="center" value="Execute" />
</form:form>
</body>
</html>
Here is the full source of my controller:
public class URLCacheFormController extends SimpleFormController {
private URLCachingService cachingService;
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(URLCacheFormController.class);
public ModelAndView onSubmit(Object command) throws ServletException {
log.debug(String.format("URLCachingFormController received request with object '%s'", command));
URLBean urlBean = (URLBean) command;
try {
URL url = new URL(urlBean.getUrl());
URLCache cache = cachingService.cacheURL(url);
cache.cacheToTempFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
log.error("Invalid URL...", e);
}
return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView()));
}
protected Object formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
log.debug("formBackingObject() ");
return new URLBean();
}
public void setURLCachingService(URLCachingService cachingService) {
this.cachingService = cachingService;
}
}
All of the above creates the following HTML:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div><span><a href="home.html">Home </a></span><span> | <a href="url-cache.html">Page Mirror</a></span></div>
<div id="breadcrumb"><span>Your trail:<a href=""/></span></div>Attrs:<div/>
<form id="urlForm" method="post" action="/home-web/url-cache.html">
<input id="url" type="text" value="" name="url"/>
<input type="submit" align="center" value="Execute"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I am now redefining doSubmitAction(Object command), but I still haven't hit this method. The form is submitted, but the next thing I know is the empty form (after the call formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request)).
, , 1 doSubmitAction . ( ), , , ( , ). formBackingObject . ( 'url') .
: , , serg555, , , , 'url' - / bean; .. URL- bean bean.
