    @RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String login(@ModelAttribute("userLogin") UserLogin obj) {   

Here, nothing of the form is coming in "UserLogin obj" object.

Answer 1

If you are using spring-mvc tags consider using form in input as follows

      <form:input type="text" path="msgTo" maxlength="15" size="20" 
value="${userLogin.userId}" />

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/2.0.8/reference/spring-form.tld.html#spring-form.tld.input

If you want to user @ModelAttribute combining with spring tags, consider read this

Basically you need to use spring.tld in your form and create a bean that has bean properties equals to the name of the elements in the form.
