Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'user' available as request attribute

Controller

public class UserDtls extends SimpleFormController {



protected ModelAndView processFormSubmission(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Object command, BindException errors)
throws Exception {
User user=(User)command;
System.out.println("User name is "+user.getUserName());
System.out.println("User location is "+user.getLocation());

return new ModelAndView("First","user",user);

}
}


Mapping in Dispatcher Servlet
<bean id="userDtls" class="com.training.controller.UserDtls">
<property name="commandName">
<value>user</value>
</property>
<property name="commandClass">
<value>com.training.beans.User</value>
</property>
<property name="formView">
<value>welcome</value>
</property>


</bean>


Code in the jsp

<form:form name="user" commandName="user" action="user.htm" method="post">

Welcome To Spring Training

Name<form:input path="userName"/>

<input type="submit" value="submit">

</form:form>

Thank for your reply

Use the constructor

public UserDtls() {
setCommandClass(User.class);
setCommandName("user");
}

Try to take out "First" local argument from the return ModelAndView, if it not fix the problem then you need to make sure everything is configured correctly.

Try Annotation form controller instead, it's straight forward and no need for XML configuration.

Hope it help...
