I was wondering if there is some way in Spring to specify in the controller that I would like to send the client to a specific anchor within the .jsp page that I am using for my view.
I have a section in my .jsp page, identified by an #errors
anchor, that displays any form errors that occur. I would like to be able to send them directly to that anchor whenever I need to send them back to the .jsp after model validation fails.
Inside my controller classes, I handle validation errors like so:
if (result.hasErrors())
{
for (ObjectError error : result.getAllErrors())
{
logger.debug("Validation Error: " + error.getDefaultMessage());
}
ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
mv.setViewName("/secure/formViews/newAdminBookingMenu");
mv.addObject(BindingResult.MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + "booking", result);
return mv;
}
I would like to be able to specify in that code block that when the client gets the rendered newAdminBookingMenu.jsp
back that they are sent directly to the #errors
anchor tag within that page.
I obviously cannot do this by just adding #errors
to the name of the .jsp i wish to render as the InternalResourceViewResolver will interpret the view as /WEB-INF/jsp/jspName#errors.jsp
which is clearly incorrect.
I know this can be accomplished with javascript and the onload
event but I find that kind of dirty and would really rather find a Spring approach if one exists.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
