I wanted to play around with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. Therefore I loaded my Spring Boot App via Spring Initialzr and set Web and Thymeleaf as dependencies. Sadly I cannot resolve any dynamic html only static ones.
When requesting localhost:8080/ I receive this: The message is:${message}
Gonna provide some code to show off my setup (most minimal code possible)
WebApp.java
package com.example; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import java.util.Arrays; @SpringBootApplication public class WebApp { public static void main(String[] args) { ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(WebApp.class, args); } } HelloController.java
package com.example; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.ui.Model; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController; import org.springframework.web.method.annotation.ModelFactory; import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView; import org.springframework.web.servlet.View; @Controller public class HelloController { @RequestMapping("/") public ModelAndView handler() { ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("twitter"); mav.addObject("message", "message"); return mav; } } twitter.html
