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

[spring] Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name available as request attr
