I am trying to create a Login form for an application with an username and password. I have assigned the model to the form using modelAttribute attribute and bound it to the controller using @ModelAttribute but I'm getting a java.lang.IllegalStateException.
I'm only testing the jsp page. It works if I remove the spring tags and place plain html tags. I don't know what is wrong here.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'loginModel' available as request attribute
