My requirement : I am having a registration Page where i take information of the user and submit the form . On submission I validate the user information and display Confirmation Page with same details entered in previous page and have submit button in Confirmation Page. On submitting Confirmation i need to persist the user data.
Difficulties Faced : I am successfully able to get the user information in registration Form controller and able to forward the model attribute to Confirmation Page. Now if I display the content in label attribute then on submitting the confirmation controller gets new instance of user object, So I am forced to make the attribute as Text field with enabling edit to get the model attribute in confirmation Controller.
Below is my Code
//Registration Controller
@RequestMapping("/register")
public ModelAndView processRegistration(@Valid @ModelAttribute("regUser")User registrationUser, BindingResult result,
@RequestParam(value="name") String name){
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
if(result.hasErrors())
{
LOG.debug("Error Occured While Registration : "+result);
modelAndView.setViewName("RegisterationPage");
modelAndView.addObject("name",name);
modelAndView.addObject("regUser",new User());
return modelAndView;
}
LOG.debug("Process Registration : "+registrationUser.getName());
modelAndView.setViewName("ConfirmRegistration");
Utils.checkUser(registrationUser);
modelAndView.addObject("regUser",registrationUser);
return modelAndView;
}
//Confirmation Controller
@RequestMapping("/confirmRegistration")
public ModelAndView confirmRegistration( @ModelAttribute("regUser") User registrationUser){
LOG.debug("Confirm User registration User :"+registrationUser);
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
if(null == registrationUser.getName() || registrationUser.getName().isEmpty()){
modelAndView.setViewName("ConnectionInterupt");
modelAndView.addObject("message","Registration Details Incomplete");
return modelAndView;
}
registrationUser = logic.registerUser(registrationUser);
modelAndView.addObject("title", "Registration Success");
modelAndView.addObject("message", "Registration is success with User Id :"+registrationUser.getUserId());
modelAndView.setViewName("Success");
return modelAndView;
}
