How to access Spring 3 MVC validator results in JSP without using form taglib

Question

I have a simple Spring 3 MVC form using jsp taglibs. I need to add a class based on whether a field within the form has any errors associated with it or not. Here is a snipet

Answer 1

Did you try tag (I don't understand what you mean writing "without using form taglib")?

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


  
    
  

Edit after comments:

Inside tag there is errors variable (see Errors interface) bound to actual binding errors. You can check if field has errors via errors.hasFieldErrors(fieldName).

_{And really obscure way to get field errors without any tag is requestScope['org.springframework.validation.BindingResult.yourCommandName'].hasFieldErrors('username')...}
