Bean property 'favLang' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?


I have created a spring mvc project with simple form and model. On running the project it gives below error: Invalid property 'favLang' of bean class [com.springdemo.mvc.Student]: Bean property 'favLang' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

Student.java

package com.springdemo.mvc;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;

public class Student {

    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String countryName;
    private LinkedHashMap<String, String> countryOptions;
    private String favLang;

    public Student() {

        countryOptions = new LinkedHashMap<>(); 
        countryOptions.put("BR", "Brazil");
        countryOptions.put("IN", "India");
        countryOptions.put("FR", "France");
        countryOptions.put("GE", "Germany");

    }

    public LinkedHashMap<String, String> getCountryOptions() {
        return countryOptions;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getCountryName() {
        return countryName;
    }

    public void setCountryName(String countryName) {
        this.countryName = countryName;
    }

    public String getFavLang() {
        return favLang;
    }

    public void setFavLang(String favLang) {
        this.favLang = favLang;
    }


}

Student-Controller

        //add student object as model attribute

Solution

  • You need to add object in to modelAndView return that from StudentController. Check following changes in code and run project.

    Student.java

      public class Student {
    
      private String firstName;
      private String lastName;
      private String countryName;
      private LinkedHashMap<String, String> countryOptions;
      private String favLang;
    
      public Student() {
    
      countryoptions = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
      countryoptions.put("BR", "Brazil");
      countryoptions.put("IN", "India");
      countryoptions.put("FR", "France");
      countryoptions.put("GE", "Germany");
    
      }
    
      public LinkedHashMap<String, String> getCountryOptions() {
          return countryoptions;
      }
      public String getFirstname() {
          return firstname;
      }
      public void setFirstname(String firstname) {
          this.firstname = firstname;
      }
      public String getLastname() {
          return lastname;
      }
      public void setLastname(String lastname) {
          this.lastname = lastname;
      }
      public String getCountryname() {
          return countryname;
      }
      public void setCountryname(String countryname) {
          this.countryname = countryname;
      }
      public LinkedHashMap<String, String> getCountryoptions() {
          return countryoptions;
      }
      public void setCountryoptions(LinkedHashMap<String, String> countryoptions) {
          this.countryoptions = countryoptions;
      }
      public String getFavlang() {
          return favlang;
      }
      public void setFavlang(String favlang) {
          this.favlang = favlang;
      }
    }
    

    Student-Controller.java

    @Controller
    public class StudentController {
        @RequestMapping(value = "/showForm", method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public ModelAndView showRegister(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
        response) {
            ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("student-form");
            mav.addObject("student", new Student());
            return mav;
        }
    
        @RequestMapping(value = "/processForm", method = RequestMethod.POST)
        public ModelAndView addUser(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
        response,@ModelAttribute("student") Student student) {
    
            ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("student-confirmation");
            mav.addObject("firstname", student.getFirstname());
            mav.addObject("favName", student.getFavlang());
            return mav;
       }
    }
    

    student-form.jsp:

    <%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>

                <td><form:password path="lastname" name="password"
                        id="password" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>

                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    
    <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
    
    </form:form>
    

    student-confirmation.jsp

    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
        pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    <title>Welcome</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>Welcome ${firstname}</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td><p>Fav Language: ${favName}</p></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </body>
    </html>
