Invalid target for Validator in spring error?
databinder, runtime-error, spring, validation
Solution
The problem is actually in Validator class you are using NewUserRegistration's object which is wrong because you want to validate your User's object not your NewUserRegistration's object.
@Override
public boolean supports(Class<?> classz)
{
return NewUserRegistration.class.equals(classz);
}
which should be
@Override
public boolean supports(Class<?> classz)
{
return User.class.equals(classz);
}
Problem
Hi all I am getting the following error whenever I am trying to invoke validator in my spring ``` Servlet.service() for servlet spring threw exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid target for Validator ``` Please have a look and help me out in this error, previously I user the validation for login page and it is working fine but now its not working. Here is my code snippet . Controller ``` @Controller public class NewUserRegistration { @Autowired private UserService userService; @Autowired private NewUserValidator newUserValidator; @InitBinder public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) { binder.setValidator(newUserValidator); } @RequestMapping(value="/newUserAdd", method=RequestMethod.POST) public String addUser(@ModelAttribute("user")@Valid User user,BindingResult result, Model model) { return "NewUser"; } ``` } Validator ``` @Component public class NewUserValidator implements Validator { @Override public boolean supports(Class<?> classz) { return NewUserRegistration.class.equals(classz); } @Override public void validate(Object obj, Errors error) { //Validation login for fields } } ``` JSP Page ``` <form:form action="newUserAdd" method="POST" modelAttribute="user"> <center> <table> <tr><td>User Id:</td><td><input name="userId" type="text" /></td><td><font color="red"><c:out value="${userIdError}" /></font> </td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td><td><input name="userPassword" type="password"/></td><td><font color="red"><c:out value="${userPasswordError}" /></font></td></tr> <tr><td>Confirm Password:</td><td><input name="userConfirmPassword" type="password"/></td><td><font color="red"><c:out value="${userPasswordError}" /></font></td></tr> <tr><td>Name:</td><td><input name="userName" type="text"/></td><td><font color="red"><c:out value="${userPasswordError}" /></font></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Create"/></td></tr> </table> </center> </form:form> ```
