Throwaway Controller properties are not bound

[vsetal]

Hi,
I got a really small web project to just let user input information from web form into database, so I think I can get away with ThrowawayController. However, after I tried it out, it seemed that the parameters are not automagically bound to ThrowawayController's properties after submission, as it said in the doc...

Do I have to do anything extra to get the binding work?

Nope, this should just work. Could you show us some more config and the way you're using it?

Here is the Controller:

public class RegistrationInfo implements ThrowawayController {
private String name;
private Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

public RegistrationInfo() {
super();
name = null;
}

public Date getBirthday() {
return cal.getTime();
}
public void setBirthday(Date birthday) {
this.cal.setTime(birthday);
}
public void setBirthDate(int date) {
cal.set(Calendar.DATE, date);
}
public void setBirthMonth(int month) {
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
}
public void setBirthYear(int year) {
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public ModelAndView execute() throws Exception {
return new ModelAndView("indexPage", "result", toString());
}
public String toString() {
return name+":"+getBirthday().toString();
}
}


And here is the config, excluding view configuration stuff

<bean id="throwawayHandler" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.throwaway.Thro wawayControllerHandlerAdapter"/>
<bean id="simpleHandler" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleControll erHandlerAdapter"/>

<bean name="/save.html" class="registration.RegistrationInfo" singleton="false"/>


And here is the form for input RegistrationInfo:

<form name="registration" action="save.html" method="post">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" id="name"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Birthday:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="birthDate"> / <input type="text" name="birthMonth"> / <input type="text" name="birthYear"></td>
</tr>

I have almost the same problem,

vsetal : what you are missing is getter/setter of the property of cal.

My question is when you have a complex object, You have to declare a propertyEditor? if so, how you declare it.
Suposse a complex object like a

public Class Person{
private String Name;
private String LastName;
//obviously with its setters and getters
}

thanks in advance.
