Question

I’m using Play Framework (2.0.3) and I have this kind of form elements :

<input type="text" name="element-name" value="" />

Server side, I have a simple Form class :

public class MyForm {
    @Constraints.Required
    public String elementName;
}

of course, it doesn’t work.

How can I do this? Are there annotations to indicate with name to match?

Answer 1

• Use the same name in your HTML form:

  <input type="text" name="elementName" value="" />
  

• or use single-word names for your fields

• or bind it manually from the DynamicForm

  String el = form().bindFromRequest().get("element-name");
