Spring - tag form:textarea must be empty, but is not error -

i want value in spring form based textarea using jstl tag, code given below

how render this?

<form:textarea value="${u.content}" path="content"> </form:textarea> 

i error "tag form:textarea must empty, not" on running view page

if form bound commandname/modelattribute don't need value attribute path enough. e.g.

if form declared below.

<form:form id="form" method="post" modelattribute="formbean"> 

your text area needs just

<form:textarea  path="name"/> 

where name attribute of formbean object

public class formbean {          private string name = "name"; } 

pre initialized values.

@requestmapping(value="/personform") public string showform(model model) {     //read values db , add model .e.g.      person person = new person();     model.addattribute("person", person);     return "personform"; } 

jsp:

<form:form action="/personform" commandname="person" method="post">             name1: <form:textarea path="name"/> </form:form>
