CodePudding user response：

The BindingResult must be directly following the ModelAttribute parameter in your controller method.

This should work:

public String saveAdmissionForm(@Valid @ModelAttribute("admissionForm") 
     AdmissionForm admissionForm,
     BindingResult bindingResulted,
     RedirectAttributes redirectAttribute) {
