Spring form doesn't work on jsp

I am new to spring framework. I am trying to make simple crud in spring using MySQL jdbc. For datamapping I have used spring form. Whenever I try to use spring form it shows an Error Error is here

Whenever i remove spring form and use normal form it looks ok but shows an error when used spring form. The error says java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'userData' available as request attribute

Thank you ! Hoping for a good response

Solution 
  • <form:form modelAttribute="userData">

   //rest of your form

</form:form>

    Try this in your index.jsp instead of current version.
