I have been trying to get a spring MVC test application to work. Here is all my spring code.
My JSP
home.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>
<%@ page session="false" %>
<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/views/header.jsp" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">
<title>iBank - Home-version 2.0</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Welcome to iBank-Dhiren</h1>
<h2 align="center">Your Online Bank Portal</h2>
<p align="center">
Today is ${today}.<br/>
<a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/admin.htm">Modified Administration Site-version-1.0 </a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
<p>
<form:form method="post" action="/user.jsp" modelAttribute="user">
<div>
<form:label path="firstName">Name:</form:label>
<form:input path="firstName"/>
<form:errors path="firstName" />
</div>
<div>
<form:label path="password">Password:</form:label>
<form:input path="password" />
<form:errors path="password" />
</div>
<div>
<form:label path="middleName">Middle name:</form:label>
<form:input path="middleName" />
<form:errors path="middleName" />
</div>
<div>
<form:label path="lastName">LastName:</form:label>
<form:input path="lastName" />
<form:errors path="lastName" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" value=" OK "/>
</div>
</form:form>
</p>
</html>
My UserLoginController

String test=" inside here";

}
The User class
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;
import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotEmpty;
public class User {
/* @NotEmpty
@Size(max = 20)

private String userId;
/*@NotEmpty

private String password;
private String firstName;
private String middleName;
private String lastName;
//private int userAccessLevel;
/**

*/
public String getUserId() {
return userId;
}
/**
* @param userId the userId to set
*/
public void setUserId(String userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
/**
* @return the password
*/
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
/**
* @param password the password to set
*/
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
/**
* @return the firstName
*/
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
/**
* @param firstName the firstName to set
*/
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
/**

public String getMiddleName() {
return middleName;
}
/**

public void setMiddleName(String middleName) {
this.middleName = middleName;
}
/**
* @return the lastName
*/
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
/**
* @param lastName the lastName to set
*/
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
/**
* @return the userAccessLevel
*
public int getUserAccessLevel() {
return userAccessLevel;
}
*/
/**
* @param userAccessLevel the userAccessLevel to set
*
public void setUserAccessLevel(int userAccessLevel) {
this.userAccessLevel = userAccessLevel;

}

With all these the error when I try to get to the first page of web application I get this error in Tomcat.

Please help

I figured the main issue . Even though I had the BindingResult and Model and attribute, the signature order was not correct. spring would recgnize this as error as per reference link
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html
Example 15.1. Invalid ordering of BindingResult and @ModelAttribute
I was not having the correct order of signatures which caused me the issue of BindingResult not recognized.
