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

I am trying to add validation to a form using Spring MVC, and I keep getting an Http Status 500 error that I am baffled to find the root cause of. Every time I make a minor change in the hopes of fixing it, I get a different error, but they all end up being 500's and all seem to point to the jsp file (which at this point I don't think is the cause of the problem, but that's the error I am getting). If I remove the sf: tags from my form and inputs, the error goes away, but then so does the ability to validate the form.

here are (as far as I know) the relevant dependencies from my pom.xml (edited)

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

Here is the jsp file itself

</html>

Here are the annotations from my model:

@NotEmpty(message="Title is required")
@Length(max=50, message="Title cannot exceed 50 characters")
private String title;

@DateTimeFormat(pattern="MM-dd-yyyy")
@NotNull(message="Release date is required")
private Date releaseDate;

@NotEmpty(message="Rating is required")
@Length(max=5, message="Rating options are G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17")
private String mpaaRating;

@NotEmpty(message="Director is required")
@Length(max=50, message="Director's name cannot exceed 50 characters")
private String director;

@NotEmpty(message="Studio is required")
@Length(max=50, message="Studio's name cannot exceed 50 characters")
private String studio;

private String note;

Here are the related methods from my controller

@ModelAttribute("dvd")
public Dvd getDvdObject() {
    return new Dvd();
}

@RequestMapping("/addNewDvdToCollection")
public String validateAdd(Model model, Dvd thisDvd) {
    model.addAttribute("wigwam", thisDvd);
    return "newDvdForm";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/addNewDvdToCollection", method = RequestMethod.POST)
//modelattr, dvd, bindingres, model
public String addNewDvdToCollection(Model model, @Valid @ModelAttribute("dvd") HttpServletRequest request, BindingResult result, Dvd thisDvd) {
    thisDvd = new Dvd();
    if (result.hasErrors()) {
        return validateAdd(model, thisDvd);
    }
    try {
        DateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
        thisDvd.setTitle(request.getParameter("inputTitle"));
        thisDvd.setReleaseDate(sdf.parse(request.getParameter("inputReleaseDate")));
        thisDvd.setMpaaRating(request.getParameter("inputMpaaRating"));
        thisDvd.setDirector(request.getParameter("inputDirector"));
        thisDvd.setStudio(request.getParameter("inputStudio"));
        thisDvd.setNote(request.getParameter("inputNote"));
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.getStackTrace();
    }
    dao.add(thisDvd);

    return "redirect:displayDvdCollection";
}

And finally here is the error output as of the last time I tried to access the addDvdForm.jsp via button click

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /jsp/newDvdForm.jsp at line 27

Thank you in advance for taking the time to look over this for me.

BalusC was right, the names in the Model need to match the paths names in the JSP.
