In aaaPost, CustomerEntity cust will be binding with the data in your form. That is, cust in aaaPost is not the one that you put in the model in aaaGet.

I also stuck with this problem and got a solution:

Add spring form to your page:

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form" %>

And use form like this:

<form:form action="/someUrl" modelAttribute="objectName" method="post">
     <form:input path="fieldName"/>
     <button type="submit">buttonName</button>
</form:form>
