I was referring to this section link
-
I have defeined the Athlete model with lastName as mandatory.
-
I have also defined AthleteController as follows with @valid annotation associated with
public String processPlayerForm(@ModelAttribute("athlete") @Valid Athlete athlete, BindingResult result) { if (result.hasErrors()) { return "add-player-form"; } return "player-confirmation"; }
-
I have created the form where the last name can be inputed from user.
<form:form action="processPlayerForm" modelAttribute="athlete"> Last Name *: <form:input path="lastName"/> <form:errors path="lastName" cssClass="error"/><br>
When empty values are given in the form and submitted, annotation doesnt throw any error. Can someone pls help me with what mistake am i doing?
