  1. POSpring MVC: Form Not Submitting
    text
    copied!<p>In my Spring MVC application, the Form Controller is correctly wired and displays the form as intended.</p> <p>But the Submit button does not work. Moreover, the onSubmit() method of the FormController never gets invoked, because my debug print statements are not shown.</p> <p>Instead, when I click Submit, the form re-loads and some of the fields get changed (very strange behavior).</p> <p>I implemented my FormController as usual in Spring MVC:</p> <pre><code>public class RegisterController extends SimpleFormController { public RegisterController() { setCommandClass(Customer.class); setCommandName("customer"); } @Override protected ModelAndView onSubmit(Object command) throws Exception { // never gets run! Customer customer = (Customer) command; System.out.println("TEST. Obtained Customer object: " + customer.toString()); } } </code></pre> <p>My bean wiring for the Dispatcher Servlet is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;bean name="/register.htm" class="techbooks.web.RegisterController" p:formView="register" p:successView="home"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>"register" refers to register.htm(.jsp) and "home" to home.htm(.jsp), both of which exist.</p> <p>JSP:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt;

Thanks for any ideas</p>
