Code Of Controller Class:

@RequestMapping("/update-admin/{email}") public String
      editUser(@PathVariable(value = "email") String email,@ModelAttribute User
      user, HttpServletRequest request) { if
      (userService.findByEmail(user.getEmail()) != null) {
      request.setAttribute("users", userService.findByEmail(email));
      request.setAttribute("name",user.getName());
      request.setAttribute("mode","MODE_UPDATE"); return "homepage"; }
      else { request.setAttribute("error", "404 Page not Found");
      request.setAttribute("mode", "MODE_Page"); return "homepage"; }
    }

Code For UserService:

public User findByEmail(String email) {
        return userRepository.findByEmail(email);
}

Code Of UserRepository:

public User findByEmail(String email);

    <li><a href="/update-admin/${user.getEmail()}">Edit Detail</a></li>
<c:choose>
    <c:when test="${mode=='MODE_UPDATE' }">

Can you try:

@RequestMapping("/update-admin/{email}") 
public String editUser(@PathVariable(value = "email") String email,@ModelAttribute User user, HttpServletRequest request) { 
        User persisted = userService.findByEmail(email);
        if( persisted != null) {
          request.setAttribute("user", persisted);
          request.setAttribute("name",user.getName());
          request.setAttribute("mode","MODE_UPDATE"); return "homepage"; }
        else { 
          request.setAttribute("error", "404 Page not Found");
          request.setAttribute("mode", "MODE_Page"); return "homepage"; 
        }
    }

Please notice line request.setAttribute("user", persisted); we need to make sure attribute is define as user.
