Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name available as request attribute
Posted By: Anonymous
I’m just learning the ropes of Spring 3’s annotation fu and I’ve stumbled upon the newb’s nightmare exception. Would appreciate any help.
here’s the form jsp code:
<form:form method="POST" action="login.htm" modelAttribute="login">
....
<form:input path="email" size="20" />
....
the controller code (at this point I’m simply testing the waters, so not directing to any page, just returning an empty string):
@Controller
@SessionAttributes
public class LoginController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String login( @ModelAttribute("login") Login login,
BindingResult result) {
System.out.println(" email entered "+ login.getEmail()+ "n");
return "test";
}
“Login” is a form bean with the appropriate setter and getters.
i presume this bit of code in my dispatcher servlet should take care of the annotation scanning:
<context:component-scan
base-package="com.testAnnFu.controller" />
and this is the shameful exception getting thrown when i try to load my landing jsp page.

I knocked off the form:input part and had a bare jsp page, that seems to load. only when i introduce the inputs are things going wrong.
i know there is something terribly wrong with my understanding of how this whole annotation thing gets wired up and maps to the ModelAttribute. I’ve rummaged through all combinations and posts in StOv for similar exceptions, but I’ve clearly missed something. could someone be so kind as to point out my blunder here?
Solution
In the controller, you need to add the login object as an attribute of the model:
model.addAttribute("login", new Login());
Like this:
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String displayLogin(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("login", new Login());
return "login";
}
