I am trying to build a web application in Spring Boot. I would like to map all inputs of a web form to a Java object called UserRequest. I have tried this using a .jsp file and use modelAttribute but get an error for "modelAttribute="userRequest"" in my .jsp file:
<form:form method="POST" action="/" modelAttribute="userRequest">
"Cannot resolve symbol 'userRequest'". I am using IntelliJ. I have no idea why this is occuring (I know there is a similar thread for a Spring application, but their solution does not work for me). See more details below.
How do I fix this?
index.jsp:
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%# taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>

I am trying to create a new Movie. This means that I want to access the "addMovie" URL, to generate a form in which I add the title of a new movie. This title should be stored in a movieDTO already from the Thymeleaf form. Then, when I press "Submit" I want it to send me to a new page "/saveMovie" that receives the movieDTO from the previous form. Using this movieDTO, I create a new Movie and then "redirect:movie/movies-all" to show all the current movies (including the added one).
However, this does not happen. When I access the URL localhost:8081/addMovie I get these errors:
org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateProcessingException: Error during execution of processor 'org.thymeleaf.spring5.processor.SpringInputGeneralFieldTagProcessor' (template: "movie/movie-add" - line 18, col 40)
and this one
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'movieDTO' available as request attribute at org.springframework.web.servlet.support.BindStatus.<init>(BindStatus.java:153) ~[spring-webmvc-5.3.9.jar:5.3.9].
Thus, I don't understand what the issue is. Is it that it does not store the information in the movieDTO correctly (or at all)? or is it because the bean movieDTO is not sent to the post method?

Main problems:
What are the errors? Why is the movieDTO not created according to the given input from the User? (I can only assume it is not properly created because it's always null when I want to access it)
Why is the redirect not recognizing the movies-all location?
for the first error, just add an empty DTO to the model;
#RequestMapping("/addMovie")
public String add(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("movieDTO", new MovieDTO());
return "movie/movie-add";
}
For the second error, remove the "redirect:" part
movieService.showMovies(model);
return "movie/movies-all";
Then you will get the pages you want;
A warning;
Please add default constructor, setters/getters and id field to the DTO.
I am studying Java and Spring. I'm doing a small link shortening project (eg www.google.com like gg, etc.). Implemented adding links and displaying them. But after being displayed, these links are not clickable. I tried to use hyperlink, but nothing came of it in the end. How to make links from DB (MySQL) clickable?
No repository and class with constructors, getters and setters specified.
Here is my code
#Controller
public class MainController {
DB db = new DB();
#Autowired
private LinkRepository linkRepository;
#GetMapping("/")
public String link(Model model) {
Iterable<Links> links = linkRepository.findAll();
model.addAttribute("title", "Page with links");
model.addAttribute("link", links);
return "link";
}
#GetMapping("/uslugi")
public String uslugi(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("title", "Page with services");
return "uslugi";
}
#PostMapping("/-add")
public String linkAdd(#RequestParam String long_link, #RequestParam String short_link, Model model) {
Links links = new Links(short_link, long_link);
linkRepository.save(links);
return "redirect:/";
}
}
DB
import java.sql.*;
public class DB {
private final String HOST = "localhost";
private final String PORT = "3306";
private final String DB_NAME = "spring";
private final String LOGIN = "root";
private final String PASS = "root";
private Connection dbConn = null;
private Connection getDbConnection() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {

"?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC";
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
dbConn = DriverManager.getConnection(connStr, LOGIN, PASS);
return dbConn;
}
public void isConnected() throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {
dbConn = getDbConnection();
System.out.println(dbConn.isValid(1000));
}

Actually, the only thing you'd have to modify to have your links be clickable, is the Thymeleaf template.
You have to replace the h4 element with an a (anchor element), like so:
<h4>
<a th:href="${row.short_link}"
th:text="${row.short_link}" />
</h4>
You can read more about the way Thymeleaf can be used to create different types of HTML elements here.
I am new to spring boot and do not know why my #PostMapping is not working and leading to a white label error. Everything else works fine and I can add customers to the h2 database. However, once I add customers and go to URL localhost:8084/getdetails and type 1, a white label error occurs. However, the form in the ViewCustomers.jsp file is still displayed but cannot take in any input. The form should invoke toString() of the customer object and its fields.

The ViewCustomer.jsp form's Method should have method as post and action as get details. The problem is in html and not spring.
A few things:
Your Controller can be annotated like #RestController instead of just #Controller.
Your mappings for POST is #PostMapping - For consistency, I would recommend your mapping for GET to be #GetMapping - So I'd replace all #RequestMapping with #GetMapping (this removes ambiguity and improves readability as well)
The form in your eureka.jsp, needs to change the URL is posting to. Instead of action=details it should point to action=getdetails
The form in your view viewcustomer.jsp has the action and the post switched (the method should be POST the action should be getdetails)
The #PostMapping("/getdetails") maps to the path "/getdetails". Such a mapping already exists. Try to map to another path in order to resolve this conflict.
I try run my simple "hello world" Spring Boot web application, but it doesn't work, I get "Whitelabel error page" all the time.
My Controller
package com.packt.webapp.controller;
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/")
public class HomeController {
public String home(Model model){
String welcome = new String("Witam");
model.addAttribute("welcome", welcome);
return "home";
}
}
Application.java
package com.packt.webapp.controller;
#Configuration
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#ComponentScan
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}

What am I doing wrong? I tried change my project structure, was playing with dependencies, nothing helps. Can somebody enlighten me?
Your home() method is most likely not being registered by spring since there is no #RequestMapping() above the method.
If you want home to be registered to /, you have two options. You can move the #RequestMapping that is currently at the class level to the home method like so...
#Controller
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping("/")
public String home(Model model){
String welcome = new String("Witam");
model.addAttribute("welcome", welcome);
return "home";
}
}
Or you can add an addition annotation above the home() method and leave it empty.
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/")
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping()
public String home(Model model){
String welcome = new String("Witam");
model.addAttribute("welcome", welcome);
return "home";
}
}
Based on your comments above, you're accessing the wrong url. Since you've mapped your controller to / and you only have the 1 method, you should access it like:
http://localhost:8080/
As I followed this tutorial: https://spring.io/guides/gs/handling-form-submission/ after a while I came to a dead end. I tried to figure out what the problem is for some hours now. I hope you can help me.
When I submit my form, I get this error-message:
There was an unexpected error (type=Method Not Allowed, status=405).
Request method 'POST' not supported
My App (App.java):
package de.poc.logging.main;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
#SpringBootApplication
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);
}
}
My Controller (InformationController.java):
package de.poc.logging.main;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value = "/info")
public class InformationController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/html")
public String infoForm(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("information", new Information());
return "infoForm.html";
}
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "text/html")
public String infoSubmit(#ModelAttribute Information information) {
return "infoResult.html";
}
}
I created an additional class for security (WebSecurityConf.java):
package de.poc.logging.main.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.headers()
.frameOptions().sameOrigin()
.httpStrictTransportSecurity().disable();
http.csrf().disable();
}
}
And I have following two HTML-Files:
infoForm.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Getting Started: Handling Form Submission</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Form</h1>
<form action="#" th:action="#{/info}" th:object="${information}" method="post">
<p>Id: <input type="text" th:field="*{id}"/></p>
<p>Message: <input type="text" th:field="*{content}"/></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset"/></p>
<!--<input type="hidden" th:name="${_csrf.parameterName}" th:value="${_csrf.token}"/>-->
</form>
</body>
</html>
infoResult.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Getting Started: Handling Form Submission</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Result</h1>
<p th:text="'id: ' + ${information.id}"/>
<p th:text="'content: ' + ${information.content}"/>
Submit another message
</body>
</html>
Edit (additional information):
my Information.java:
package de.poc.logging.main;
public class Information {
private long id;
private String content;
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public String getContent() {
return content;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public void setContent(String content) {
this.content = content;
}
}

I'm using Java 1.8u121 (jdk).
Edit2:
I tried 3 different versions of spring boot now.
Also I downloaded the project from here: https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-handling-form-submission and added spring boot via pom.xml.
The downloaded project does not work for me.
I'm getting really frustrated.
I copied your exact same classes except the web security class and tried to run. The post method is working for me. The only change I made was returning file names without the .html extension.
My controller class looks like this
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import com.example.models.Information;
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value = "/info")
public class InformationController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/html")
public String infoForm(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("information", new Information());
return "infoForm";
}
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "text/html")
public String infoSubmit(#ModelAttribute Information information) {
return "infoResult";
}
}
I found the problem. My pom.xml was wrong.
The right one looks like this:

Did you try with #RequestParam instead of #ModelAttribute?
Something like this..
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "text/html")
public String infoSubmit(#RequestParam("info") Information information) {
return "infoResult.html";
}
