path in spring form
// The path attribute is bound into java properties using java beans convention. // For example for following form: <form:form method="post" modelAttribute="theStudent"> Name: <form:input type="text" path="name"/> Cool?: <form:input type"checkbox" path="cool"/> <button>Save</button> </form:form> // And following controller handler method: @RequestMapping(...) public String updateStudent(@ModelAttribute("theStudent") Student student) { // ... } // Will bind automatically if the Student class is defined with following properties: public class Student { private String name; public String getName() { return this.name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } private boolean cool; public boolean isCool() { return this.cool; } public void setCool(boolean cool) { this.cool = cool; } }
