- The Spring MVC Form Tag Library provides a set of JSP tags that simplify the process of rendering HTML forms in Spring MVC applications. These tags generate HTML form elements, handle data binding between form fields and model attributes, and perform validation.
- Here are some commonly used Spring MVC form tags:
form:form
- This tag represents an HTML
<form:form modelAttribute="user"
method="POST"
action="/saveUser">
<!-- Form fields go here -->
</form:form>
form:input
- This tag generates an HTML input element for text input. It can be used for various input types, such as text, password, email, etc.
<form:form modelAttribute="user"
method="POST"
action="/saveUser">
<!-- Form fields go here -->
</form:fo<form:input path="username" />
rm>
form:radiobutton
- Use this tag to create radio buttons
<form:radiobutton
path="notificationPreference"
value="EMAIL" />
<form:radiobutton
path="notificationPreference"
value="SMS" />
form:checkbox
- This tag generates checkboxes for boolean values.
<form:checkbox path="subscribed" />
form:select
- This tag generates an HTML select element for dropdown lists.
<form:select path="gender">
<form:option
value="MALE" label="Male" />
<form:option
value="FEMALE" label="Female" />
</form:select>
form:textarea
- Use this tag to create a text area input element.
<form:textarea path="description" />
form:hidden
- This tag creates a hidden input field.
<form:hidden path="id" />
The form tag
- The Spring MVC form tag is a container tag. It is a parent tag that contains all the other tags of the tag library. This tag generates an HTML form tag and exposes a binding path to the inner tags for binding.
<form:form action="nextFormPath"
modelAttribute=?abc?>
