The form:hidden tag declares that it accepts dynamic attributes but does not implement the required inter

Question

I am using spring3 and hibernate to develop this simple form:

<form:form method="post" action="addClass" commandName="trainingclass">
    <form:hidden path="id" />

and the corresponding command:

@Entity
@Table(name="TrainingClass")
public class TrainingClass {
    @Id
    @Column(name="ID")
   // @GeneratedValue
    private Integer id;
    ....
}

I am getting the exception in the title. I tried to use some transient property such as:

@Entity
@Table(name="TrainingClass")
public class TrainingClass {
    @Id
    @Column(name="ID")
   // @GeneratedValue
    private Integer id;

    private Integer dim;
}

<form:form method="post" action="addClass" commandName="trainingclass">
        <form:hidden path="dim" />

Still the exception is there.

Then I tried:

<form:form method="post" action="addClass" commandName="trainingclass">
            <form:hidden path="dim" value="dummy"/>

Still the same problem.

I searched google and everywhere it seemed to be using without any issues.
