Bean property 'cmpcode' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

Question

I am getting following error in my 'cmpmstaddedit.jsp':

I have searched the internet and found many similar cases, however, even after applying the given solution doesn't resolved my issue. Can somebody help solving an issue? Do I need to upload any other file to arrive at a conclusion?

Answer 1

In the JSP file you have :

<c:forEach items="${cmpmst}" var="user" varStatus="loopCounter">
    <tr>
        <td><c:out value="${loopCounter.count}" /></td>
        <td><c:out value="${cmpmst.cmpcode}" /></td>

while ${cmpmst} is an array . You should write instead :

<c:forEach items="${cmpmst}" var="user" varStatus="loopCounter">
    <tr>
        <td><c:out value="${loopCounter.count}" /></td>
        <td><c:out value="${user.cmpcode}" /></td>

and same for following fields

I could not see how and where you forward to cmpmstaddedit.jsp in shown controller, but I assume that cmpmsts is also a list. You must ensure that you put a single object as request attribute before forwarding to that view.
