Help me please, with Spring tag

This is my first experience with Spring. When I was reading the “Spring Live” all worked Ok. :) Equinox works well too. But in my project I have strange problem with binding. And I don’t see the difference between book example and my project.

There is filePersonList.jsp with one and very easy form which contains one input tag only:

Code:

---

<form method="post" action="<c&#58;url value="/filePersonList.html"/>" name="searchParametersForm">
    <table class="search-panel-form" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
            <th>Text&#58;</th>
            <td>
                <spring&#58;bind path="searchParameters.field">
                <input type="text" name="field" id="field" value="$&#123;status.value&#125;"/>
                <span class="fieldError">$&#123;status.errorMessage&#125;</span>
                </spring&#58;bind>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="search-panel-button-cell">
                <input name="start" class="panel-button" type="submit" value="Start">
            </td>
            <td class="search-panel-button-cell">
                <input name="clear" class="panel-button" type="submit" value="Clear">
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>

---

I use the “searchParameters” as command object for the form. The class SearchParameters has all needed fields:

Code:

---

public class SearchParameters extends BaseObject
{
    private String field;
    public String getField()
    {
        return field;
    }

    public void setField( String field )
    {
        this.field = field;
    }
}

---

There is information about it in the action-servlet.xml

Code:

---

<bean id="filePersonListController"class="com.company.web.FilePersonListController">
        <property name="commandName"><value>searchParameters</value></property>
        <property name="commandClass"><value> com.company.web.SearchParameters</value></property>
        <property name="formView"><value>filePersonList</value></property>
        <property name="successView"><value>redirect&#58;filePersonList.html</value></property>
</bean>

---

And sure, I have the class FilePersonListController with implemented formBackingObject method

Code:

---

public class FilePersonListController extends SimpleFormController
{
    private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog( FilePersonListController.class );

    public ModelAndView onSubmit{...};

    protected Object formBackingObject( HttpServletRequest request ) throws ServletException
    {
        log.debug( "CALL - new SearchParameters()" );
        return new SearchParameters();
    }
}

---

I can see my form well while I don’t use the spring:bind. Something like that:

Code:

---

<input type="text" name="field" id="field" value="111"/>

---

When I add the binding I have exception:
The exception is:

Code:
