mapping command object

[anicraj]

Hi,
Am new to spring mvc. I have a form with 3 sections, and each section has to be mapped to 1 object. For ex my command object is Customer and it has a field Address which is another object which has to be mapped to address fields in the form. I gave the path as address.addressLine1 in the form but its not working, i get the following Exception thrown : org.springframework.beans.NullValueInNestedPathExc eption: Invalid property 'address' of bean class

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

If you want to bind to objects inside your command object make sure that those objects are there. So inside your Customer object create a new (empty) Address object.

That is also what the error indicates (NullValueInNestedPathException).

Thanks it worked.

And i got another question. Am trying to use MultiActionController since there are 3 submit buttons on the form and the form has lot of combo boxes and the values needs to be fetched from db. During the form load, i have to load all the values into the combo box, how can i do this? I know if use SimpleFormController, i can use formBackingObject(), not sure how to do it in MultiActionController. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
