Seems to be a problem in your form. At least, the inputs must be given the name attributes:
&form method="post" action="&c:url value='/customer/'/&"&
&input type="text" name="custid"&
&input type="text" name="name"&
&input type="text" name="age"&
&input type="submit" value="Save"&
But since you are using Spring, it is preferable to use the Spring forms (and spring url's also):
&spring:url var="customer" value="/customer"/&
&form:form action="${customer}" method="post" modelAttribute="customer"&
&form:label path="custid"&Id:&/form:label&
&form:input path="custId"/& &br&
&form:label path="name"&Name:&/form:label&
&form:input path="name"/& &br&
&form:label path="age"&Age:&/form:label&
&form:input path="age"/& &br&
&input type="submit" value="Save"/&
&/form:form&
And you should initialize dao!

* LocaleChangeInterceptor validates locale values in order to prevent XSS vulnerability
Changes in version 3.0.5 ()
-------------------------------------
* support for Hibernate 3.6 final
* added core serializer abstraction with default implementations using Java Serialization
* consistent use of JDK 1.5's "ThreadLocal.remove()" over "ThreadLocal.set(null)"
* fixed JodaTimeContextHolder to use a non-inheritable ThreadLocal and expose a reset method
* revised "ClassUtils.isAssignable" semantics to cover primitives vs wrappers in both directions
* optimized AnnotationUtils findAnnotation performance for repeated search on same interfaces
* ConversionService protects itself against infinite recursion in ObjectToCollectionConverter
* fixed TypeDescriptor to correctly resolve nested collections and their element types
* BeanWrapper does not attempt to populate Map values on access (just auto-grows Map itself)
* fixed Autowired/CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor to prevent race condition in skipping check
* fixed @Value injection to correctly cache temporary null results for non-singleton beans
* ApplicationContext registers context-specific ClassArrayEditor for its bean ClassLoader
* refined ApplicationContext singleton processing to not fail for manually registered null instances
* fixed ApplicationContext event processing for repeated invocations to non-singleton listener beans
* optimized @Bean error messages for static factory methods as well as for argument type mismatches
* modified expression parsing to pass full TypeDescriptor context through to ConversionService calls
* adapted expression parser's Constructor/MethodResolver to accept TypeDescriptors instead of raw types
* SpEL supports projection on any kind of Collection (not just on Lists and arrays)
* SpEL MapAccessor consistently rejects "target.key" style access to Maps if no such key is found
* SpEL method invocations prefer method with fewest parameters (e.g. no-arg over vararg)
* AspectJExpressionPointcut uses bean ClassLoader for initializing the AspectJ pointcut parser
* added AnnotationAsyncExecutionAspect as AspectJ-based variant of @Async processing
* added mode="proxy"/"aspectj" and proxy-target-class options to task:annotation-driven
* JDBC bundle uses local ClassLoader as bean ClassLoader for "sql-error-codes.xml" parsing
* EmbeddedDatabaseFactory shuts down database when failing to populate it in "initDatabase()"
* embedded database support now also works with Derby >= 10.6
* "jdbc:embedded-database" uses id as database name to allow multiple ones in parallel
* ResourceDatabasePopulator throws descriptive ScriptStatementFailedException with resource details
* added configurable Connection/Statement/ResultSet target types to Jdbc4NativeJdbcExtractor
* added OracleJdbc4NativeJdbcExtractor with pre-configured Oracle JDBC API types
* DefaultLobHandler's "wrapAsLob" mode works with PostgreSQL's "getAsciiStream()" requirement
* ResultSetWrappingSqlRowSet (as used by JdbcTemplate's "queryForRowSet") supports column labels now
* LocalSessionFactoryBean's "entityCacheStrategies" works with region names on Hibernate 3.6 as well
* fixed DefaultMessageListenerContainer's no-message-received commit to work without Session caching
* DefaultMessageListenerContainer's skips no-message-received commit on Tibco (avoiding a deadlock)
* JaxWsPortClientInterceptor does not fall back to annotation-specified name as portName anymore
* UriTemplate is serializabl
