Spring MVC - form generating new model object instances - spring-mvc

I have a simple mvc application, which lists all rules in a DB, and allows a user to select a specific row to delete that rule. The controller has a simple listRules() method which adds two model objects to the ModelMap.
#Controller
public class RulesController {
#Resource
private RuleManager ruleManager;
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView listRules() {
ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView("/rules");
List<Rule> rules = this.ruleManager.getAllRules();
ListRulesModel listRulesModel = new ListRulesModel();
listRulesModel.setRules(rules);
mv.addObject("listRulesModel",listRulesModel);
SelectedRuleModel selectedRuleModel = new SelectedRuleModel();
mv.addObject("selectedRuleModel",selectedRuleModel);
return mv;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/submit", method = RequestMethod.POST, params = {"delete"})
public ModelAndView deleteRule(#ModelAttribute("selectedRuleModel") SelectedRuleModel selectedRuleModel,ModelMap model) {
System.out.println("deleteRule "+selectedRuleModel.hashCode());
System.out.println("model "+model);
if(selectedRuleModel.getRuleId()!=null)
getRuleManager().deleteRule(getRuleManager().getRule(selectedRuleModel.getRuleId()));
return new ModelAndView("redirect:/");
}
My model objects are
public class ListRulesModel {
private List<Rule> rules = null;
public List<Rule> getRules() {
return rules;
}
public void setRules(List<Rule> rules) {
this.rules = rules;
}
}
and
public class SelectedRuleModel {
#NotNull
private Integer ruleId = null;
public Integer getRuleId() {
return ruleId;
}
public void setRuleId(Integer ruleId) {
this.ruleId = ruleId;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return String.format("SelectedRuleModel [ruleId=%s]", ruleId);
}
}
The main elements of my view are a table form which shows each rule as a row. A radiobutton should populate the 'selectedRuleModel.ruleId' field with the value of the rule within the list.
<head>

</head>
<form:form method="POST" action="submit" modelAttribute="selectedRuleModel">
<button type="submit" name="delete" value="delete" class="btn btn-primary">Delete Selected Rule</button>
...
<c:forEach items="${listRulesModel.rules}" var="rule" varStatus="status">
<tr>
<td><form:radiobutton path="ruleId" value="${rule.id}"/></td>
<td>${rule.name}</td>
<td>${rule.batch}</td>
...
</form>
Everytime i submit the "delete row" form it appears that a new 'SelectedRuleModel' object is passed as a parameter to the deleteRule() method, such that the 'ruleId' value is always null. What am io doing wrong with my model/method mapping?
The generated HTML is
<form id="selectedRuleModel" action="submit" method="POST">
<button type="submit" name="amend" value="amend" class="btn btn-primary">Amend Selected Rule</button>
<button type="submit" name="branch" value="branch" class="btn btn-primary">Branch Selected Rule</button>
<button type="submit" name="delete" value="delete" class="btn btn-primary">Delete Selected Rule</button>
</div>
<!-- Add rule table -->
<table id="rulesTable" class="tablesorter">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Rule Name</th>
....
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input id="ruleId2" name="ruleId" type="radio" value="20"/></td>
<td>Gender_Balance</td>
<td>*</td>
....
EDIT - I've update the controller method deleteRule() to include the BindResult object.
#RequestMapping(value = "/submit", method = RequestMethod.POST, params = {"delete"})
public ModelAndView deleteRule(
#Valid #ModelAttribute("selectedRuleModel") SelectedRuleModel selectedRuleModel,
BindingResult result, ModelMap model) {
System.out.println("deleteRule "+selectedRuleModel.getRuleId());
System.out.println("model "+model.toString());
System.out.println("BindingResult "+result.toString());
if(selectedRuleModel.getRuleId()!=null)
getRuleManager().deleteRule(getRuleManager().getRule(selectedRuleModel.getRuleId()));
return new ModelAndView("redirect:/");
}
As you can see in the logging for this method, the 'selectedRuleModel' is null but the model has a 'selectedRuleModel' with a null 'ruleId' value.

I removed the three mvc elements from my applicationContext.xml file it the form started working.
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/"/>
<mvc:view-controller path="/"/>
FRIDAY EDIT - I've isolated the issue to the inclusion of the javascript elements in the jsp form. Without the javascript files included, the form submits data to the controller. When the scripts are added it seems that the form data is not correctly bound to the ModelAttribute object. The javascript files are primarily aimed at enabling the tablesorting features on the html table, so i can't understand why they are effecting the action of the submit buttons. 50 points for someone who can explain it.

The only thing I can think of is that rules.js or one of the other javascript imports may be disabling the radio button just before the submit - in which case no value would be submitted in the POST operation, which would then makes sense as to why the ModelAttribute is not being popualated.

on the console it is showing "No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/demoApp/add] in DispatcherServlet with name 'newApp'".
This error accures when i click on submit button on jsp page.
If you want to use view technology like jsp.
You could add bean definition of InternalResourceViewResolver class into your spring configuration file
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
see official docs
I got the same issue and resolved it.
Please add missing folder src/main/java [add package name (for example: com.dev) while adding a class] and then add the java class in that instead of src/main/resource folder. This is the culprit. Let me know for any issue at parixitk28#gmail.com.

request mapping is not taking me to the desired page, its showing error 404

I am a spring beginner, I used controller and request mapping to go to
some java file from index.jsp but its showing 404 Error. I am putting
right urlmapping and requestmapping and controllers as I saw in a spring
tutorial.
I have tried including more dependencies, changing the code as I saw
someplace else, but nothing working. Please help me with this code.
Thanks in Advance

For now you should use <mvc:annotation-driven/> in your spring confuguration file to enable MVC configuration as described in official doc
Try to replace entry <context:annotation-config> to <mvc:annotation-driven/>.
And if you want to go to your index.jsp you should change method add() so that it returned view name as a String:
#RequestMapping("/add")
public String add() {
return "index";
}
Also you can see the exhaustive and descriptive answer to similar question this. It'll be useful.

sec:authorize and sec:authentication annotations don't work

I have a Spring + Thymeleaf project with the following view code.
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.thymeleaf.org/dtd/xhtml1-strict-thymeleaf-spring3-3.dtd">
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
xmlns:sec="http://www.thymeleaf.org/thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity3">
<head>
<title>Contacts</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Welcome to the site!</h1>
<p th:if="${loginError}">Wrong user or password</p>
<form th:action="#{/j_spring_security_check}" method="post">
<label for="j_username">Email address</label>:
<input type="text" id="j_username" name="j_username"/> <br/>
<label for="j_password">Password</label>:
<input type="password" id="j_password" name="j_password"/> <br/>
<input type="submit" value="Log in"/>
</form>
</div>
<div sec:authorize="isAuthenticated()">
User: <span sec:authentication="name">miquel</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The sec:authorize and sec:authentication attributes don't work as expected - the div is always shown, even if no user is logged in, and the span always reads "miquel".
Follows a relevant snippet from my controller class.
#RequestMapping(value = "/welcome.html")
public String wellcome() {
Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
System.out.println("username: " + auth.getName());
return "home";
}
The println statement works as expected - if no user is logged in, it prints "anonymousUser", otherwise the username.
What am I doing wrong?
After comparing my application closely to the Thymeleaf & Spring Security demo applicaiton, I discovered the source of the error.
Apparently, in order for Thymeleaf to process the sec:authorize and sec:authentication attributes, you need to register SpringSecurityDialect as an additional dialect of the template engine bean.
<bean id="templateEngine" class="org.thymeleaf.spring3.SpringTemplateEngine">
<property name="templateResolver" ref="templateResolver" />
<property name="additionalDialects">
<set>
<bean class="org.thymeleaf.extras.springsecurity3.dialect.SpringSecurityDialect" />
</set>
</property>
</bean>
This is surprising as there is no mention of that fact on the related Thymeleaf documentation page. I hope this helps others who will face the same issue in future.
In Spring Boot I just had to add the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.thymeleaf.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity4</artifactId>
</dependency>
For the java config version, it worked for me too by adding the spring security dialect:
#Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine() {
SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
templateEngine.addDialect(new TilesDialect());
templateEngine.addDialect(new SpringSecurityDialect());
return templateEngine;
}
Also, you may wish to clear the template cache after an authentication event, so your template is re-processed with new authentication data. Or, set the templates which are sensitive to a login session to non-cached (this is what I did), using ServletContextTemplateResolver.setNonCacheablePatterns().

What am I doing wrong?
Check browser URL. You are missing context.
Let Say, You are running at http://localhost:8080/test/index.jsp where test is your context path.
So, When calling Servlet It should be like http://localhost:8080/test/hello.
In your case, Its not like that.
So, Adding cotextpath will solve your problem.
e.g. action="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/hello"
OR you can use
e.g. action="hello"
So, When you add "/" to action always add context path.

Spring MVC Static Resources partially work

I have a basic directory app that works fine except that it seems to only sometimes find the static resources that I’ve configured using the mvc:resources tag. My search of the board found problems related to handler mappings, but my problem seems to be different.
Specifically, when the PersonController is called via a method mapping to “/person”, it returns personlist.jsp using the view resolver and correctly finds and uses the static css and js files. No problems.
When the same controller is called via another method mapping to “/person/{familyid}” ( narrows the person list to a particular family), it returns the same personlist.jsp…but now it fails to find or use the css and js files (though it does display the correct data).
I don’t understand why there is a behavior difference since both scenarios use the same Controller, the same return String (return “personlist”), and resolve to the same JSP (ie. with the same Head section links for the css, js).
I looked at what came back in the browser for each case using ‘view source’, and both pages return the same head tag rendering for the css and js linking:
<link href="resources/css/directory.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>
<script type="text/javascript" src="resources/scripts/jquery-1.7.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="resources/scripts/directory.js"></script>
I thought the problem could be with my tag mapping, so I also tried this:
<resources mapping="**/resources/**" and
resources mapping="resources/**"
but no help.
Am I approaching the use of static resources properly here (and what is the right resources tag mapping if that’s the problem)? Thanks.
I am using Spring 3.0.6 and my css and js files are located under /WebContent/resources/css and /WebContent/resources/scripts respectively, which are mapped using the mvc:resource tag (see below).
PersonController:
#Controller
public class PersonController {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HomeController.class);
/**
* Simply selects the home view to render by returning its name.
*/
List<Person> personList;
Boolean familyCalled = false;
#Autowired
PersonService personService;
#RequestMapping(value="/people", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String people(Model model) {
logger.debug("Received request to show peoplelist page");
System.out.println("Running inside people() method of PersonController");
personList = personService.getPersons();
familyCalled = false;
model.addAttribute("personList", personList);
return "personlist";
}
#RequestMapping(value="/people/{familyId}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String familyMembers(#PathVariable("familyId") String fid, Model model) {
System.out.println("Running inside familyMembers() method of PersonController");
personList = personService.getPersonsInFamily(fid);
familyCalled = true;
model.addAttribute("personList", personList);
return "personlist";

Your URLs are relative and therefore the browser is looking for the resources in the wrong place. (Check the resulting HTML code)
One solution is to use the <spring:url> tag to build the urls of the resources.
<spring:url var="banner" value="/resources/images/banner-graphic.png" />
<img src="${banner}" />
