Spring MVC RadioButton Example

Spring MVC provides 2 tags <form:radiobutton> and <form:radiobuttons> to display radio button on form. In this post lets see the Spring MVC RadioButton example and difference between the 2 tags used.

1. <form:radiobutton>

This tag is used to display radiobuttons with hardcoded values

1 2	<form:radiobutton path="gender" value="Male"/>Male <form:radiobutton path="gender" value="Female"/>Female

2. <form:radiobuttons>

This tag is used to display radiobuttons with dynamic values.

1	<form:radiobuttons path="paymentMode" items="${paymentModes}" />

Spring MVC RadioButton Example

Lets see the Spring MVC RadioButton and RadioButtons example.

Model

package com.kscodes.sampleproject.model;

public class Employee {

private String firstName;

private String lastName;

private String gender;

private String paymentMode;

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 getGender() {

return gender;

}

public void setGender(String gender) {

this.gender = gender;

}

public String getPaymentMode() {

return paymentMode;

}

public void setPaymentMode(String paymentMode) {

this.paymentMode = paymentMode;

}

Controller

Use the controller to create a empty Model and also a dynamic list for the radiobuttons tag.

package com.kscodes.sampleproject.controller;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;

import org.springframework.ui.Model;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import com.kscodes.sampleproject.model.Employee;

@Controller

public class EmployeeController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/employee", method = RequestMethod.GET)

public ModelAndView showEmployeeForm() {

Employee employee = new Employee();

// Create Dynamic list for <form:radiotbuttons>

List<String> paymentModes = new ArrayList<String>();

paymentModes.add("Checks");

paymentModes.add("Cash");

paymentModes.add("Bank Account");

paymentModes.add("Gift Cards");

paymentModes.add("Travellers Checks");

// Add the command object to the modelview

ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView("employee");

mv.addObject("employee", employee);

// Add the payments modes to model for <form:radiotbuttons>

mv.addObject("paymentModes", paymentModes);

return mv;

}

@RequestMapping(value = "/employee", method = RequestMethod.POST)

public String submitForm(Model model, Employee employee) {

model.addAttribute("employee", employee);

return "success";

}
