org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property of bean class Bean property is not readable or has an invalid getter method

Question

Spring MVC is new to me. I would like to have some comprehensive literature with example about Spring MVC(even official docs are not simple to understand).

So the problem that i face is:

Jun 15, 2013 2:42:36 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [appServlet] in context with path [/controller] threw exception [An exception occurred processing JSP page /WEB-INF/views/index.jsp at line 27

27: <form:label path="creationDate.ParticularDate">Particular Date</form:label>
28: <form:input path="creationDate.ParticularDate" />
29: 
30: <form:label path="creationDate.childGoSchoolDate">Child go to School</form:label>

Why does it happen? I don't understand why does it say that I don't have proper setter and getter method for my Entity, and I don't think I have to define them in my controller class. Am I right?

My controller:

@Autowired
    private ControllerSupportClass controllerSupportClass; 


        public void setControllerSupportClass(
                ControllerSupportClass controllerSupportClass) {
            this.controllerSupportClass = controllerSupportClass;
        }


        @RequestMapping(value ="/index", method=RequestMethod.GET)
        public ModelAndView firstPage(Model model) {

            CreationDate creationDate = new CreationDate();
            model.addAttribute("creationDate", creationDate);


            return new ModelAndView("index");
        }


        @RequestMapping(value ="/result", method=RequestMethod.GET)
        public String SecondActionPage(@RequestParam String particularDate, 
                                       @RequestParam String nameOfInstitution, 
                                       @RequestParam String typeName, 
                                       Model model) throws Exception {


                if(particularDate !="" && nameOfInstitution !="" && typeName=="") {

                    controllerSupportClass.findWithDateAndName(nameOfInstitution, particularDate, model);

                } else if(particularDate !="" && nameOfInstitution =="" && typeName !="") {

                    controllerSupportClass.findWithAddedDateAndType(typeName, particularDate, model);

                } else if(particularDate !="" && nameOfInstitution =="" && typeName==""){

                    controllerSupportClass.findWithAddedDate(particularDate, model);

                } else if(particularDate !="" && nameOfInstitution !="" && typeName !="") {

                    throw new Exception("Search by choose all parameters is not exceptable");

                } else {

                    throw new Exception("You didn't put any search parameters");

                }


            return "result";

        }

        @RequestMapping(value="/add", method=RequestMethod.GET)
        public String addingData(@ModelAttribute("creationDate") CreationDate creationDate, BindingResult result, Model model) {


            controllerSupportClass.saveDataToDataBase(creationDate);

            return "add";

        }

}

And my jsp:

Yeah, my CreationDate Entity:

I hope this clarifies my problem to you guys. Thank you.

Answer 1

The path values in your form:label and form:input tags should be relative to the command object referenced in form:form. In other words, the path values should be property names of the class of the creationDate object. Bascially just remove the creationDate. prefix so you end up with this:

<form:form  commandName="creationDate" method="GET" action="add">

<form:label path="particularDate">Particular Date</form:label>
<form:input path="particularDate" />

<form:label path="childGoSchoolDate">Child go to School</form:label>

Assuming that the creationDate class has properties (with getters/setters) called particularDate and childGoSchoolDate.

Answer 2

Within the path attribute creationDate.ParticularDate should probably be creationDate.particularDate.

Make sure your CreationDate object has a proper property getter method #getParticularDate().

Answer 3

I had the same issue but the problem is I did not generate the getters and setters, I wrote them down manually. All my paths and methods were correct. So I removed the getter and setter method that I wrote manually and generated them using eclipse. I don't understand the logic behind it but that resolves my issue.
