Path attribute in Spring [closed]
Long story short 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; }}More info of the JavaBeans convetion is available at section 8.3 of the specification document.
