spring sample mvc-ajax project is not displaying errors

[tdwilliams]

I've checked out revision 591 of the spring sample mvc-ajax project. I've loaded the project and have it running in debug mode in STS.

When trying to create a new account without a value in the name field, I'm not seeing the error's displayed in the form. I can break into the code with the debugger and see that an error is being returned b/c the validation has failed. However, I see no indication of this validation error in the view.

How is the error message supposed to be bound back to the view after the json post has failed?

it appears at least part of the problem is running this inside the embedded browser in STS. Running the page through firefox displays the error message when a name is duplicated.

However, I am still not seeing any errors displayed when I submit the form with an empty name field. Should the fieldValidated method be called when the $.postJSON("account", account, function(data) call fails? Is there no automagic binding of errors back to the form? using these defined tags?

<form:label id="nameLabel" for="name" path="name" cssErrorClass="error">Name</form:label><br/>
<form:input path="name" />
<form:errors path="name" />
