Submeter formulario com spring-form

Olá pessoal,
Estou tentando fazer um cadastro simples utlizando o spring form, porém nao consigo submeter o formulario qdo clico no botão nao acontece nada, comecei a estudar o Spring a pouco tempo e estou tendo algumas dificuldades. Abaixo segue o código:

exemplo-servlet.xml

     <bean name="/categoryForm.htm" class="com.exemplo.sbce.controller.CategoryFormController">
        <property name="sessionForm" value="true"/>
        <property name="commandName" value="category"/>
        <property name="commandClass" value="com.exemplo.sbce.dataaccess.entity.Category"/>
        <property name="formView" value="categoryForm"/>
        <property name="successView" value="hello.htm"/>
        <property name="categoryDAO" ref="categoryDAO"/> 
    </bean>

Classe de controle:

public class CategoryFormController extends SimpleFormController {
    
    private CategoryDAO categoryDAO;

    @Override
    protected ModelAndView onSubmit(Object command) throws ServletException	 {
    	Category category = (Category) command;
        categoryDAO.insert(category);

        return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView()));
    }
    
    @Override
    protected Object formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
    	Category category = new Category();
    	category.setName("Bla");
    	category.setCategory(new Category());
    	return category;
    }

	public void setCategoryDAO(CategoryDAO categoryDAO) {
		this.categoryDAO = categoryDAO;
	}
}

categoryForm.jsp

<h1><fmt:message key="category.heading"/></h1>

	<form:form method="post" commandName="category">
	  <table width="95%" bgcolor="f8f8ff" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
	    <tr>
	      	<td align="right" width="20%"> <fmt:message key="category.label_name"/></td>
	        <td width="20%">
	          <form:input path="name"/>
	        </td>
	    </tr>
	    
	     <tr>
	    	<td align="right" width="20%"> <fmt:message key="category.label_mae"/></td>
	        <td width="20%">
	          <form:input path="category"/>
	        </td>
	    </tr>
	  </table>
	  
	  <br>
	  &lt;input type="submit" align="center" value="Execute"&gt;
	  <br>
	&lt;/form:form&gt;
	
	<a hello.htm"/>&quot;&gt;Home</a>
