I am currently working on some HTML form validation using Hibernate and Spring MVC.
I have applied some validation to the Enity & added the code into my controller. When submitting the form to the controller with data in the incorrect format, a error page page is displayed (500). however, I want the form to be returned to the user with the error message displayed near the incorrect field.
Entity Code:
@NotNull(message="Please enter a product")
@Column(name="product_name")
private String productName;
@NotNull(message="Please enter a product code")
@Pattern(regexp="([A-Z]{2,4})-([0-9]{5})|", message="Incorrect format")
@Column(name="product_code")
private String productCode;
Controller Code:
@GetMapping("/showFormForAdd")
public String showFormForAdd(Model theModel) {
// create model attribute to bind form data
QaRaised theProduct = new QaRaised();
theModel.addAttribute("product", theProduct);
return "product-form";
}
@PostMapping("/saveProduct")
public String saveProduct(@Valid @ModelAttribute("product") QaRaised theProduct, BindingResult bindingResult) {
qaRaisedService.saveProduct(theProduct);
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
return "product-form";
}
return "redirect:/products/qaraised";
}
Stack trace from Error:
org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is javax.validation.ConstraintViolationException: Validation failed for classes [com.sonya.spring.entity.QaRaised] during persist time for groups [javax.validation.groups.Default, ]
List of constraint violations:[ConstraintViolationImpl{interpolatedMessage='Incorrect format', propertyPath=productCode, rootBeanClass=class com.sonya.spring.entity.QaRaised, messageTemplate='Incorrect format'}
Form code:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="InputPC">Product Code:</label>
<form:input required="true" type="text" title="Product Code" path="productCode" class="form-control" id="productCodeInput" placeholder="Enter Product Code" commandName="productCode"/>
<form:errors path="productCode"/>
The validation here is working correctly, I simply want to redirect the user back to the form. Can anyone see anything I am missing or point me in the right direction?
Cheers, Danny
This is an old question but I actually had the exact same issue with the same exact coding problem you had, so in case anyone else comes across this...
@want2learn is right - you shouldn't try to save the data before making sure it is valid. Otherwise, the validator will throw an exception. Just move your saving logic down:
@PostMapping("/saveProduct")
public String saveProduct(@Valid @ModelAttribute("product") QaRaised theProduct, BindingResult bindingResult) {
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
return "product-form";
}
qaRaisedService.saveProduct(theProduct);
return "redirect:/products/qaraised";
}
