I am writing my first springboot web app with project structure like below:
---src/main/java
+com.example.myproject
+--Application.java
+com.example.myproject.domain
+--Person.java
+com.example.myproject.web
+--GreetingController.java
---src/main/resources
+static
+--css
+--js
+templates
+--greeting.html
Aplication.java
package com.example.myproject;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(Application.class);
app.setShowBanner(false);
app.run(args);
}
}
GreetingController.java
package com.example.myproject.web;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class GreetingController {
@RequestMapping("/greeting")
public String greeting(@RequestParam(value="name", required=false, defaultValue="World") String name, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("name", name);
return "greeting";
}
}
greeting.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Getting Started: Serving Web Content</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<p th:text="'Hello, ' + ${name} + '!'" />
</body>
</html>
The problem is that when i run the project, and type below URL on web browser
http://localhost:8080/greeting
The result only displays this text: greeting while it should display this text: Hello, World!
I have tried to move greeting.html out of templates folder but still not lucky. As i understand, springboot should auto scan the components and load resource files correctly.
Please help to advise on this issue.
Only use @Controller
annotation, not @RestController
annotation. It will run fine. @RestController
contains @Controller
and @ResponseBody
annotations. So if you use @RestController
, you will get a return response from the method it is mapped to.
