MY CONTROLLER CLASS:

@RequestMapping("/companySave.do")
    public String saveCompany(Map<String, Object> map, @ModelAttribute("company")
    Company company,@ModelAttribute("address")
    CompanyAddress address, BindingResult result)
    {           
        //......   code.......
        return "redirect:/companyAddressPage/"+company.getId()+".do";

    }

    @RequestMapping("/companyAddressPage/{id}.do")
    public String companyAddressPage(@PathVariable("id") long id,Map<String, Object> map, @ModelAttribute("company")
    Company company,@ModelAttribute("address")
    CompanyAddress address, BindingResult result)
    {   //......   code.......
        return "myPage";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/test.do")
    public String saveAddressCompany(Map<String, Object> map, @ModelAttribute("company")
    Company company,@ModelAttribute("address")
    CompanyAddress address, BindingResult result)
    {   //......   code.......
        return "myPage";
    }

AIM:

after submitting first form which is present in div A i want to enable div B which will contain another form.

Problem :

First form is submitting properly but when i click on submit button of second form it is throwing exception (action is not even getting called)

Exception :

Unable to convert value test from type 'java.lang.String' to type 'long'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "test"] with root cause

any idea....???

Thanks in advance...!!!

Answer 1

EDIT: see comments also.

You need to add a forward slash in front of your second form's action attribute:

action="/test.do"

Otherwise you will end up to /companyAddressPage/test.do since you've just been redirected to /companyAddressPage/1.do (where 1 is an example id). This is because second form's action attribute is relative.

Answer 2

Whatever value you get in the @PathVariable it is always having String type value only.

So instead of using

@PathVariable("id") long id

use this

@PathVariable("id") String id

and then convert it to long manually before you use in your function.

Hope this helps you.

Cheers.
