Spring 3 MVC - form:errors not showing the errors
spring-annotations, spring-mvc
Solution
I had to use `@ModelAttribute` to get this working. So the form was preceded by `@ModelAttribute("copyCartForm") @Valid CopyCart copyCartForm, BindingResult result)`
Problem
I am using annotation based validation but for one of the forms I am not able to show any errors using the `form:errors` tag. When I debug the method, I can see the `BindingResult` has errors, but for some reason its not being displayed on the form. I am stumped as I have got it working on other forms, but for some reason this particular form is having issues. Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Here is some code from the controller, I have the copyCartForm as a @SessionAttribute as well in the Controller: ``` @RequestMapping(params="action=Confirm Copy", method=RequestMethod.POST) public String copyCart(@Valid CopyCart copyCartForm, BindingResult result) { if (result.hasErrors()) { logger.debug("errors in form" + result.toString()); return "copyshoppingcart"; } else { ... ... return "redirect:/home"; } } ``` In the JSP I have tried this: ``` <form:errors path="*" cssClass="formError"/> ``` as well as: ``` <form:errors path="fieldName" cssClass="formError"/> ``` Neither works.
