Question

I have a jsp page with a List<Object> as the @ModelAttribute. However, there are no <form:form> tags in the page. All I’m doing is print the contents of the List.

In my Controller.java, I’m binding an error by doing:

result.rejectValue("", "NOT_LOGGED_IN", "You should Login first") ;

But since I dont have a form in my jsp, I’m not able to access the error with:

<form:errors path="" /> <br/>

Please tell me how to access the error (or what I’m doing wrong).

In your controller:

model.addAttribute("errors", result.getAllErrors());

In your JSP:

<c:forEach items="${errors}" var="error">
    <%-- do want you want with ${error} --%>
    <c:out value="${error.defaultMessage}" />
</c:forEach>
