showNewForm

[vsaritha_9]

Can anyone explain when this method showNewForm from AbstractFormController will be called by the spring framework?

Can you please reply soon

It's called on every GET request, or more precisely, on every request that isn't a form submission. Form submissions are identified by the isFormSubmission() method, that by default looks at whether or not the request is a GET request. If so, it's NOT a form submission (triggering the showNewForm()) method.

By the way, soon enough?

rgds,

Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but are you assuming that they're using method=POST in their html for the form? I was reading the pet clinic app last night and was wondering why they have method=GET in there.
