How to bind input elements to an arraylist element in Spring MVC?
The view model:
public class AssigneesViewModel {
private int evaluatorId;
private int evaluatedId;
private String evaluatorName;
private String evalueatedName;
//getters and setters
}
The model attribute:
public class AssignEvaluationForm{
private ArrayList<AssigneesViewModel> options;
public ArrayList<AssigneesViewModel> getOptions() {
return options;
}
public void setOptions(ArrayList<AssigneesViewModel> options) {
this.options = options;
}
}
Controller
@RequestMapping(value="addAssignment", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String addAssignment(Model model){
model.addAttribute("addAssignment", new AssignEvaluationForm());
return "addAssignment";
}
Then in the jsp i have 4 hidden inputs which represent the fields for the evaluatedId, evaluatorId, evaluatorName, evaluatedName -> options[0]. How i am going to write the jsp code to map those inputs with an element of the arrayList?
Update:
<form:form commandName="addAssignment" modelAttribute="addAssignment" id="addAssignment" method="POST">
//..........
<c:forEach items="${addAssignment.options}" var="option" varStatus="vs">
<div id="assigneesOptions" >
<form:input path="addAssignment.options[${vs.index}].evaluatedId" value="1"></form:input>
</div>
</c:forEach>
//..............
</form:form>
With this update i get the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'options[]' available as request attribute
