${status.expression} does not work

I hope no one feels offended if I post that much newbie questions but I'm at a point where I don't get any further without help.

In previouse posts people suggested me to use ${status.expression} instead the name it self. It actually did not solve my problem I posted before but I have another problem.

I currently use following code which returns me the disered values from the user

Code:

---

<spring&#58;bind path="user.user.username">
                                        <input type="text" name="username" value="$&#123;user.user.username&#125;"/>
                                        <span class="fieldError">$&#123;status.errorMessage&#125;</span>
                                </spring&#58;bind>

---

But if I use status.expression instead the value and the name attribute in the input tag is empty - so it does not work with user.expression but with the fix name username it works!

Code:

---

<spring&#58;bind path="user.user.username">
                      <input type="text" name="<c&#58;out value="$&#123;status.expression&#125;"/>" value="<c&#58;out value="$&#123;status.value&#125;"/>">
                      <span class="fieldError">$&#123;status.errorMessage&#125;</span>
                    </spring&#58;bind>

This should work both way!? Shouldn't it?

try

name="<spring:message text='${status.expression}'/>" value="<spring:message text='${status.value}'/>"

i think you may need to wrap <spring:message> around the ${status.expression/value} usages.

Can I see the full code of your command class, JSP page and the definition of the controller from your *-servlet.xml file?

If you're using a Servlet 2.4 container (with a 2.4 web.xml), you shouldn't need <c:out>. Try this:

Code:

---

<spring&#58;bind path="user.user.username">
    <input type="text" name="$&#123;status.expression&#125;" value="$&#123;status.value&#125;"/>
    <span class="fieldError">$&#123;status.errorMessage&#125;</span>
</spring&#58;bind>

Are you user.user.username is the correct path? That means that you have a getUser() in your User object...

Thanks for all the answears! I found the problem! I did not include the spring.tld!!!

The strange thing about it is that I never got an error message! Like above spring:bind worked in some constelations without having the spring.tld included!
