${} used for variable expressions. Variable expressions are OGNL expressions –or Spring EL if you're integrating Thymeleaf with Spring. *{} is used for selection expressions. Selection expressions are just like variable expressions, except they will be executed on a previously selected object.
Thymeleaf provides a special attribute th:field responsible for binding input fields with a property in the bean class. This attribute behaves differently depending on whether it is attached to. Thymeleaf supports all-new input types introduced in HTML5 such as type="color" or type="datetime" .
You can also change the value in the controller, just make a Java object from $client.name and call setClientName. public class FormControllModel { ... private String clientName = "default"; public String getClientName () { return clientName; } public void setClientName (String value) { clientName = value; } ... }
th:name => This would be the name of the value that you will be either passing to another page (Exemplar scenario). th:value => This would be the actual value that you would be passing.
