admin.jsp

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>

<html>
<body>
    <h1>Adminpage</h1>

    <form:form method="post">

        Infotext<br />
        <form:input path="infoBody"/><br /><br />
        <br /><br />

        <input type="submit" value="Submit">

    </form:form>
</body>
</html>

What is it that I'm missing? Have gotten a login-form using the exact same technique to work with no problems, so this error really befuddles me. Thanks in advance for any help.

You are mixing two different approaches to create controllers: new annotated controllers (@Controller/@RequestMapping) and old SimpleFormController.

With annotated approach, you controller should look like this:

@Controller
public class InfoTextFormController {       
    @RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView createForm() throws Exception {
        return new ModelAndView("admin", "command", new InfoText());
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView onSubmit(@ModelAttribute("command") InfoText infoText) {
        ...
    }       
}
