Spring has form tags ...

Example:

<form:input path="password"></form:input>

What is path here ?

name of the property in your modelAttribute.

Login.java
{
private String userId;
private String password;
//getters and setters
}

In your LoginController you will add the Login object as model with name "login".

And in your view file login.jsp

<form:form method="post" modelAttribute="login">
<form:input path="password"/> <!-- this will bind the input filed to the model-->
</form:form>
