Make sure that your Spring form mentions the modelAttribute   lt Model Name    Example     Controller  RequestMapping   greeting html   public class GreetingController      ModelAttribute  greeting    public Greeting getGreetingObject       return new Greeting                 GET                  RequestMapping method   RequestMethod GET   public String handleRequest       return  greeting                POST                  RequestMapping method   RequestMethod POST   public ModelAndView processSubmit  ModelAttribute  greeting   Greeting greeting  BindingResult result     ModelAndView mv   new ModelAndView      mv addObject  greeting   greeting       return mv         In your JSP     lt form form  modelAttribute  greeting  method  POST  action  greeting html  gt

Make sure you declare the bean associated with the form in GET method of the associated controller and also add it in the model model addAttribute  uploadItem   uploadItem   which contains  RequestMapping method   RequestMethod GET  annotation     For example UploadItem java is associated with myform jsp and controller is SecureAreaController java  myform jsp contains    lt form form action   securedArea  commandName  uploadItem  enctype  multipart form-data  gt  lt  form form gt    MyFormController java   RequestMapping   securedArea    Controller public class SecureAreaController     RequestMapping method   RequestMethod GET  public String showForm Model model                UploadItem uploadItem   new UploadItem       declareing              model addAttribute  uploadItem   uploadItem      adding in model     return  securedArea upload          As you can see I am declaring UploadItem java in controller GET method

Try adding a BindingResult parameter to methods annotated with  RequestMapping which have a  ModelAttribute annotated parameters  After each  ModelAttribute parameter  Spring looks for a BindingResult in the next parameter position  order is important    So try changing    RequestMapping method   RequestMethod POST  public String loadCharts HttpServletRequest request  ModelMap model   ModelAttribute  sideForm   Chart chart        To    RequestMapping method   RequestMethod POST  public String loadCharts  ModelAttribute  sideForm   Chart chart  BindingResult bindingResult  HttpServletRequest request  ModelMap model

I worked on this same issue and I am sure I have found out the exact reason for it   Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name  command  available as request attribute  If your successView property value  name of jsp page  is the same as your input page name  then second value of ModelAndView constructor must be match with the commandName of the input page   E g   index jsp   lt html gt   lt body gt       lt table gt           lt tr gt  lt td gt  lt a href  Login html  gt Login lt  a gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt       lt  table gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt    dispatcher-servlet xml   lt bean id  viewResolver      class  org springframework web servlet view InternalResourceViewResolver  gt        lt property name  prefix  gt           lt value gt  WEB-INF jsp  lt  value gt       lt  property gt       lt property name  suffix  gt           lt value gt  jsp lt  value gt       lt  property gt   lt  bean gt   lt bean id  urlMapping      class  org springframework web servlet handler SimpleUrlHandlerMapping  gt       lt property name  urlMap  gt           lt map gt                             lt entry key   Login html  gt                   lt ref bean  userController   gt               lt  entry gt           lt  map gt                 lt  property gt                lt  bean gt         lt bean id  userController  class  controller AddCountryFormController  gt               lt property name  commandName  gt  lt value gt country lt  value gt  lt  property gt          lt property name  commandClass  gt  lt value gt controller Country lt  value gt  lt  property gt                  lt property name  formView  gt  lt value gt countryForm lt  value gt  lt  property gt          lt property name  successView  gt  lt value gt countryForm lt  value gt  lt  property gt      lt  bean gt          AddCountryFormController java  package controller   import javax servlet http    import org springframework web servlet ModelAndView  import org springframework validation BindException  import org springframework web servlet mvc SimpleFormController    public class AddCountryFormController extends SimpleFormController        public AddCountryFormController            setCommandName  Country class               protected ModelAndView onSubmit HttpServletRequest request HttpServletResponse response Object command BindException errors                Country country  Country command               System out println  calling onsubmit method                   return new ModelAndView getSuccessView    country  country               Country java  package controller   public class Country       private String countryName       public void setCountryName String value           countryName value             public String getCountryName            return countryName             countryForm jsp   lt    taglib prefix  form  uri  http   www springframework org tags form    gt   lt html gt   lt body gt       lt form form commandName  country  method  POST   gt               lt table gt                       lt tr gt  lt td gt  lt form input path  countryName   gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt                       lt tr gt  lt td gt  lt input type  submit  value  Save   gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt               lt  table gt       lt  form form gt   lt  body gt   lt html gt    Input page commandName  country  ModelAndView Constructor as  return new ModelAndView getSuccessView    country  country   Means inputpage commandName  ModeAndView   commandName

We faced the same issue and changed commandname    to modelAttribute    in jsp page to solve this issue
