    </form:form>

this is my register.jsp page. if i add commandName and then use the command name in the controller and execute, it throws an error saying neither binding result not the plain target object available for bean xxx.

@Controller
public class LoginOrRegisterController {
CustomerVO cust = null;
RegisterUserService registerUserService;
Integer  id = null;


@RequestMapping(value="/Login", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String viewForm(ModelMap model){
    cust = new CustomerVO();
    model.addAttribute("command", cust);
    return "loginOrRegister";
}




@RequestMapping(value="/addUser", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String addUser(@ModelAttribute("command") CustomerVO customer, ModelMap model){
    //cust.setFirstName(customer.getFirstName());
    id = registerUserService.RegisterUser(customer);
    System.out.println(id);
    return "";

}

this is my controller class. An error is thrown at RegisterUSer(customer);

what do i do to fix this?

Answer 1

Try to autowire your RegisterUserService, like that:

@Controller
public class LoginOrRegisterController {
    CustomerVO cust = null;
    @Autowired RegisterUserService registerUserService;
    Integer  id = null;
    /*...*/
