forms - Doing a post request to a spring 2.0 controller -

i have form on html page this:

<form id="profileform" method="post" action="myapp/profile/save.do">     <input type="text" name="profilelist[0].name" value="jane"/>     <input type="text" name="profilelist[1].name" value="john"/>     <input type="text" name="profilelist[2].name" value="alice"/> </form> 

when submit form, post request send spring dispatcher servlet, calls controller:

public class save extends simpleformcontroller {     @override     protected object formbackingobject(httpservletrequest request) throws exception     {         //this method runs fine.          profilefbo profilefbo = new profilefbo();          return profilefbo;     }      @override     protected modelandview onsubmit(httpservletrequest request, httpservletresponse response, object command, bindexception errors) throws exception     {         //this method doesn't run          map<string, object> modeldata = new hashmap<string, object>();          return showform(request, response, errors, modeldata);     } } 

the first method runs, second doesn't. must go wrong binding submitted data fbo? here's fbo, nothing container list of profiledto objects:

public class profilefbo {     private list<profiledto> profilelist;      public list<profiledto> getprofilelist()     {         return profilelist;     }      public void setprofilelist(list<profiledto> profilelist)     {         this.profilelist = profilelist;     } } 

and of course, profiledto object has property called "name" , appriopate getter/setter.

here's spring.xml configuration:

<bean id="profilesavecontroller" class="com.company.profile.controller.save">     <property name="successview" value="profileoverviewpagetile"/>     <property name="commandname" value="profilefbo"/>     <property name="commandclass" value="com.company.profile.fbo.profilefbo"/> </bean> 

as can see, i'm not using controller request, i'm not ùmaking full use of spring form controller functionality. purely doing post requests , binding form fbo object.

what doing wrong in setup?

wow, that's old school!

i don't see myapp/profile/save.do endpoint calling in html defined.

you should using spring jsp tags this:

<form:form method="post"commandname="profilefbo"> 

that should hit correct backend endpoint.

you know shouldn't handling forms anymore, right?
