I want to implement spring3.2.0 web mvc following the example: http://programmersplanet.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/4/
but I fail. Finally I get the result which is: Successfully logged in: ${user.username}, you see the variable is useless(JSP doesn’t work). I add some output to debug, it proves @Controller, @RequestMapping work. So I don’t know what is wrong with my coding.

The probable cause of your issue is you have added “userForm” in your Controller and trying to access it as ${user.username} in JSP !
Also check if you have disabled EL expressing in your web.xml. We have 1000’s of user who are relying on Spring MVC, which is the most reliable Java EE framework till date.
