oops...
of course if I populate the command with the result of a call to
formBackingObject(request) it will be the same as it was when I loaded
the page!
This hack works.
=== CODE from PersonFormController.java ===
public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
if(request.getMethod().equalsIgnoreCase("post")){
return onSubmit(request, response,
(Person)super.getCommand(request), new BindException());
} else {
return super.handleRequest(request, response);
}
}
But it requires me to populate the controller manually out of the
request in my onSubmit() method.
=== CODE from PersonFormController.java ===
person.setFirstName(request.getParameter("firstName"));
person.setLastName(request.getParameter("lastName"));
log.debug("The original person is: " + person.toString());
This produces...
=== LOG of person form save ===

I'm still stumped. Shouldn't the contents of the text fields be bound
to the command object on submit?
I've since also tried downloading the project from Google Code, and it
won't run either.
Hasn't anyone run this path of the tutorial?
... anyone?

I have added this work-around (read "hack") to get the unit tests to
work, and to get the page flow behaving properly.

But in doing so, I see that nothing is getting saved to the database.
There is no log message from the GenericManager, so I added the
following to my PersonFormController.onSubmit().
=== CODE from PersonFormController.java ===
if (request.getParameter("delete") != null) {
personManager.remove(person.getId());
saveMessage(request, getText("person.deleted", locale));
} else {
* log.debug("The original person is: " + person.toString());*
* Person updatedPerson = personManager.save(person);
log.debug("The updated person is: " +
updatedPerson.toString());
* String key = (isNew) ? "person.added" : "person.updated";
saveMessage(request, getText(key, locale));
if (!isNew) {
success = "redirect:personform.html?id=" + person.getId();
}
}
It produced the following log even though I changed Matts first name
to Mathiew (sorry ;-).

I don't know if this is related, but I suspect it is.
Thanks again,

I'm hoping that someone can help me. I have been running through the
spring tutorial with hibernate, and all was going well until the
PersonFormController.
The behavior that I'm seeing is that when editing a person, I click
on the save button and get redirected to the persons list. The
changes that have been made are not persisted, and the log doesn't
display the "entering 'onSubmit' method..." log message.
What bothers me is the following line from the logs since my class
doesn't implement that method, I am assuming that one of the parents
is trying to handle the request.
PersonFormController.processFormSubmission(266) | No errors ->
processing submit
I have Googled for hours, and not found anything like this, so I am
at my wits end.
Some relevant code and log snippets follow.
Thanks in advance,
