Bean Binding Error

[adityamondal]

I'm trying to implement a 2 input JSP form that maps to a bean in a separate package. My project consists of the following files:

com.adi.beans.User
com.adi.controllers.LoginController

/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
/WEB-INF/spring-sevlet.xml
/WEB-INF/web.xml

/WebContent/index.jsp

I'm getting an error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'user' available as request attribute
Please let me know the cause for this. This issue is bugging me since the last 2 days. I've zipped and attached the WAR. These are the JArs I've placed in the lib directory:

commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
org.springframework.asm-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.beans-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.context-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.core-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.expression-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.orm-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.web.servlet-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar

Somebody, please help. I know I'm doing something stupid.

I think you're trying to get a model Object (called "user") which has not been previously attached to.
You have to add it to the model just before of redirecting to the view, and to get it in the method of your controller which handles the post request.

Take a look to the spring reference guide
Here's a good example too: http://puretech.paawak.com/2010/09/0...g-mvc-how-tos/
