individualPlanning.jsp obviously uses the Spring MVC select tag and sets the disabled attribute. org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.SelectTag in version 4.2.3.RELEASE doesn't have a setDisabled(String) method (did it ever?). Instead it's got a setDisabled(boolean) inherited from AbstractHtmlInputElementTag.

thanks for the update marcle its weird that they changed argument type to boolean, in our application we are using spring form: elements selectTag and input for both we are using attributes disabled property which is set by jstl dynamically as string like facing issues lot, the only solution is to change the value from string to boolean or do we have any other solution suggested by spring community – Chandra Kuncham Feb 12 '16 at 09:21
The value needs to be a boolean. That makes a lot of sense because `disabled` can only ever be true or false. Why would you represent a boolean as a string in the first place. – Marcel Stör Feb 12 '16 at 09:25
current app is in spring 3.2.2.Release we used jstl 1.2 so as per the req disabled will be true or false, we set the value using jstl by checking condition finally we bind the value to spring form:selectTag and inputTag disabled property as sting like "{disabled}", as part of migration we moved to 4.2.3.RELEASE we started facing issues – Chandra Kuncham Feb 12 '16 at 09:45
