The highlights for Listing 17-34 are as follows:
The <spring:eval> tag is used, which uses the Spring Expression Language to test
·
whether the contact id is null. If yes, then it's a new contact; otherwise, it's an
update. The corresponding form title will be displayed.
Various Spring MVC <form> tags are used within the form for displaying the label,
·
the input field, and errors in case binding was not successful on form submission.
Next, add the view mapping to the view definition file (/views/contacts/views.xml). Listing 17-35
shows the code snippet.
Listing 17-35. The Edit Contact View Mapping
<definition extends="default" name="contacts/update">
<put-attribute name="body"
value="/WEB-INF/views/contacts/edit.jspx" />
</definition>
The edit view is completed. Then rebuild and deploy the project. Click the edit link in Figure 17-12.
The edit view will be displayed, as shown in Figure 17-13.
