Spring Boot Form Input Empty

I'm trying to have Spring boot convert my form data into an Object representation (ExampleInputForm), but for some reason it doesn't seem to bind (emailName is always null). Am I missing something here?

ExampleInputForm.java

public class ExampleInputForm {
    @NotNull
    public String emailName;


    public ExampleInputForm() {
        super();
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "ExampleInputForm{" +
                "emailName='" + emailName + '\'' +
                '}';
    }
}

MyController.java

@Controller
class MyController {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value="/save")
    @ResponseBody
    public Map<String, String> saveBrands(@Valid ExampleInputForm form, BindingResult bindingResult) {
        LOG.info("Saving brands: " + form);
        return ImmutableMap.of(
                "emailName", form.emailName,
        );
    }
}

form.ftl

<div class="container">
    <div class="row text-center">
        <form name="input" action="/save" method="post">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
                <input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Email" name="emailName">
            </div>
            <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

You need to add getter/setter for your emailName attribute to your ExampleInputForm class.
