My Controller class...

//////////////For Main Page//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

@RequestMapping("/getList")
public ModelAndView getUserLIst() {
    List<usercreation> userList = ucDaoImpl.getUserList();
    return new ModelAndView("userList", "userList", userList);
}
@RequestMapping("/Invoice")
public ModelAndView loginUser1(Model model) {

    model.addAttribute("InvoiceBean", new InvoiceBean());

    Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();

    List<InvoiceBean> invoiceList = iDaoImpl.getInvoiceBeans();
    map.put("invoiceList",invoiceList);
    System.out.println(invoiceList);

    List<MetalBean> metalList = mDaoImpl.getMetalBeans();
    map.put("metalList",metalList);
    System.out.println(metalList);
    return new ModelAndView("Invoice","map",map);
}

Answer 1

You're binding your form to the model attribute MetalBean , but this is not available when a request to /Invoice is made. Only an InvoiceBean is available at that point.

Modify your controller method and set the MetalBean in the model.

@RequestMapping("/Invoice")
public ModelAndView loginUser1(Model model) {

    model.addAttribute("MetalBean", new MetalBean());
