How to set the form:path for the model attribute inside another model

Question

I am able set an individual path name for a model, but if I try to set a path for a model inside a another model it throws me an error. I stuck with this kindly give me a solution and also it would be very generous if u elaborate and explain me on what I am going worng and where is the best place learn more about this.

I would like to share my code to get it solved

THIS IS MY CONTROLLER

@RequestMapping(value="contact", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String contactability(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Model model, @ModelAttribute("contactDetails") ContactDetails contactDetails){
    try{
        if(contactDetails==null){
            contactDetails= new ContactDetails();
        }
        model.addAttribute("contactabality", contactDetails);

    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "contactabality";

}

THIS ARE MY MODELS

I have two models involed

contact details here's the code

@Entity
@Table(name="TB_CONTACT_DETAILS")
public class ContactDetails implements Serializable {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
@Column(name="CONTACT_ID")
private Long contactId;

@Column(name="IS_PERM_COMM_SAME")
private Integer isPermCommSame;

@OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.EAGER,cascade=CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="contactDetails")
private Set<AddressDetails> addressDetails = new HashSet<AddressDetails>();

public ContactDetails() {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

public Long getContactId() {
    return contactId;
}

public void setContactId(Long contactId) {
    this.contactId = contactId;
}

public Integer getIsPermCommSame() {
    return isPermCommSame;
}

public void setIsPermCommSame(Integer isPermCommSame) {
    this.isPermCommSame = isPermCommSame;
}

public Set<AddressDetails> getAddressDetails() {
    return addressDetails;
}

public void setAddressDetails(Set<AddressDetails> addressDetails) {
    this.addressDetails = addressDetails;
}

}

Is the Address Model, here's the code for it

@Entity
@Table(name="TB_ADDRESS_DETAILS")
public class AddressDetails implements Serializable{

@Id
@GeneratedValue
@Column(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Long addrId;

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER, cascade=CascadeType.DETACH)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDR_TYPE")
private AddressTypeMaster addressType;

@Column(name="ADDRESS_COL1")
private String addrCol1;

@Column(name="ADDRESS_COL2")
private String addrCol2;

@Column(name="ADDRESS_COL3")
private String addrCol3;

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER,cascade=CascadeType.DETACH)
@JoinColumn(name="CITY")
private CityMaster city;

@Column(name="PINCODE")
private String pincode;

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER,cascade=CascadeType.DETACH)
@JoinColumn(name="STATE")
private StateMaster state ;

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER,cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="CONTACT_ID")
private ContactDetails contactDetails;

@Column(name="ADDR_STATUS")
private String addrStatus;

@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER,cascade=CascadeType.ALL,mappedBy="addressDetails")
private EmployeeDetails employeeDetails;

public AddressDetails() {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

public Long getAddrId() {
    return addrId;
}

public void setAddrId(Long addrId) {
    this.addrId = addrId;
}

public AddressTypeMaster getAddressType() {
    return addressType;
}

public void setAddressType(AddressTypeMaster addressType) {
    this.addressType = addressType;
}


public String getAddrCol1() {
    return addrCol1;
}

public void setAddrCol1(String addrCol1) {
    this.addrCol1 = addrCol1;
}

public String getAddrCol2() {
    return addrCol2;
}

public void setAddrCol2(String addrCol2) {
    this.addrCol2 = addrCol2;
}

public String getAddrCol3() {
    return addrCol3;
}

public void setAddrCol3(String addrCol3) {
    this.addrCol3 = addrCol3;
}

public CityMaster getCity() {
    return city;
}

public void setCity(CityMaster city) {
    this.city = city;
}

public String getPincode() {
    return pincode;
}

public void setPincode(String pincode) {
    this.pincode = pincode;
}

public StateMaster getState() {
    return state;
}

public void setState(StateMaster state) {
    this.state = state;
}

public ContactDetails getContactDetails() {
    return contactDetails;
}

public void setContactDetails(ContactDetails contactDetails) {
    this.contactDetails = contactDetails;
}

public String getAddrStatus() {
    return addrStatus;
}

public void setAddrStatus(String addrStatus) {
    this.addrStatus = addrStatus;
}

public EmployeeDetails getEmployeeDetails() {
    return employeeDetails;
}

public void setEmployeeDetails(EmployeeDetails employeeDetails) {
    this.employeeDetails = employeeDetails;
}

}

private Set<AddressDetails> addressDetails = new HashSet<AddressDetails>();

is your problem. I believe you are going to store only two kind of addresses in the above list, i would suggest you to bind Permanent and Communication address details as separate properties instead of binding as list.

some thing like creating two more Transient properties in ContactDetails bean @Transient private AddressDetails commAddressDetails and @Transient private AddressDetails permAddressDetails and corresponding setter/getter.

use these properties in your Jsp for respective fields, prior to persist write your own logic to construct one-to-many relationship. This will work if you have static number of Addresses.

I appreciate your time for helping me, thank you for that . And my other models also developed in the same fashion, like for example. I have employeeExp model which consist of pastExp attribute in which i have company name. So the name the user is trying to set from employee exp should go inside the pastExp's company name. For that In the jsp of employeeExp I gave a path for the company name as pastExp.companyName. In this case I need it to go this way but I get the same error as shown above. How to resolve this.

How is your view design in that case? -- This answer may help you. stackoverflow.com/questions/33015654/…

Thank you -Lovababu. I think thats what I am trying to do. I need to bind my model with in an model. For that I used to give pastExp.companyName as a path. But i am getting the same error

Lovababu Padala Over a year ago

Is that also a list<PastExp> in employeeExp? If yes, you can't bind if you have dynamic size of list, so i would suggest you todo as detailed in aforementioned link.
