Spring MVC with Thymeleaf + Bootstrap using webjars

I have a Spring project where I included the following webjars into pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.webjars</groupId>
<artifactId>bootstrap</artifactId>
<version>3.3.7-1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.webjars</groupId>
<artifactId>jquery</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>
Then I included in my HTML view the following link and scripts:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#{/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/css/bootstrap.min.css}" />
<script src="#{/webjars/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js}"></script>
<script src="#{/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/js/bootstrap.min.js}"></script>
But it didn't work, no mapping found:
[org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] (default task-15) No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/TestPublicWeb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/css/bootstrap.min.css] in DispatcherServlet with name 'testapp'
...so I tried to include the following mapping into servlet.xml:
<mvc:resources mapping="/webjars/**" location="classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/"/>
But with this, mapping for my /TestApplication is not found:
[org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] (default task-13) No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/TestApplication/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'testapp'
How should webjars be included in a Spring project in a correct way?

The problem is that you are mixing the standard HTML href tag with Thymeleaf's syntax #{}. Change it as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" th:href="#{/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/css/bootstrap.min.css}" />
<script th:src="#{/webjars/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js}"></script>
<script th:src="#{/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/js/bootstrap.min.js}"></script>
And if you are using Spring Security you need also specify the authorization to your webjars in the configure(HttpSecurity http) method like:
http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/webjars/**").permitAll();

A couple things I could think of as to why the above is not working for you. Make sure you are using spring mvc namespace inside of your servlet.xml file. Looks something like:
<bean xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"....
Also not sure why you are trying to access assets using #{..} when you have specified the classpath. Try removing the #{..} like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script src="/webjars/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/webjars/bootstrap/3.3.7-1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

not getting model filled from jsp in spring mvc

Same error even adding #ModelAttributeI am not able to get the model class filled while clicking on button on jsp. In Database a new field is created but value are going null(Because model is not getting filled).
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in advance.
My Model class is:
package model;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

public class Conversion {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private int conversionId;
#Column(name = "conversionFrom")
private String conversionFrom;
#Column(name = "conversionFromValue")
private int conversionFromValue;
#Column(name = "conversionTo")
private String conversionTo;
#Column(name = "conversionToValue")
private int conversionToValue;
#Column(name = "conversionDate")
private Date conversionDate;
public int getConversionId() {
return conversionId;
}
public void setConversionId(int conversionId) {

do the changes as mentioned by #alan and also make following changes to your js function:
function SaveConversion() {
var params = $("#Conversion_form").serialize();
alert(params);
$.ajax({
method : "POST",
url : "saveConversion",
data : params, //this line is changed
success : function(result) {
alert(result);
$("#responseDiv").html(result);
messageDisplay();
return false;
}
})
}
the js function as per the question was sending only one parameter "param" which had value of serialized form value. After making above change it should be working. I have verified the same using network tab of the browser. You can see it for yourself if needed.

If you want to Spring to automatically bind the submitted parameters to a Conversion instance then you need to use the #ModelAttribute annotation in your method signature.
#RequestMapping("/saveConversion")
public ModelAndView saveConversion(#ModelAttribute Conversion conversion, Model model) throws ServletException, IOException, ParseException {
System.out.println("In saveConversion");
Boolean boolean1 = serviceDao.setConversion(conversion);
if (boolean1) {
model.addAttribute("conversionSaved", "Conversion saved successfully!");
} else {
model.addAttribute("conversionSaved", "Conversion Not saved!");
}
return new ModelAndView("setConversion");
}
http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-ann-modelattrib-method-args
An #ModelAttribute on a method argument indicates the argument should
be retrieved from the model. If not present in the model, the argument
should be instantiated first and then added to the model. Once present
in the model, the argument’s fields should be populated from all
request parameters that have matching names. This is known as data
binding in Spring MVC, a very useful mechanism that saves you from
having to parse each form field individually.

Spring boot with authentication - login page not found (404)

I have a problem with my spring application since I've tried to include some security things.
After building a small working app including angularJS I followed this spring security tutorial but I can't get it started. When I try to access any part of the app, the security modul wants to redirect to http://localhost:8080/login... but can't find it.
There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
No message available
Maybe I'm just missing a small thing but I can't figure out what it is ^^

I followed my own hint in the comment above and figured out I forgot extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter at my Application.class
That solved the Problem!

Where is your login.html located? Can you get to /login directly in a browser? I suspect you don't have your ViewResolver set up properly. If you can't go directly to /login, that's your problem. Look at application.properties values spring.view.prefix and spring.view.suffix.
If you can get there directly, you might be dealing with a hidden error. Spring Boot includes an AutoConfiguration that swallows exceptions and throws a 404. You might want to exclude it (change #EnableAutoConfiguration to #EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude=ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration.class). That will enable you to see any errors that are thrown during the request processing.

JSP & EL conflict with JSF 1.x actionListener

I was working on a JSF 1.x example, which has some EL conflict in JSPs.
the line actionListener="#{helloBean.addControls} is shooting an issue.
The error is :
HTTP Status 500 - /JSP/hello.jsp (line: 37, column: 2) A literal value was specified for attribute actionListener that is defined as a deferred method with a return type of void. JSP.2.3.4 does not permit literal values in this case

Clean Deployment : The application is deploying itself fine on Tomcat 7. I checked the deployed package structure on &tomcat_home%/webapps and everything is in proper place as expected.
But when i run the application on a browser I get the following error :

I am not finding a suitable one stop solution for this issue.
It is the EL used on the line actionListener="#{helloBean.addControls} which is raising the complications.
Please let me know the solution.

Change inside your web.xml
<webapp>
into
<web-app version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
in addition to the above try adding
to your web-app...
like this
<web-app version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Spring REST MultipartFile file is always null

I'm trying to set up a simple upload with html and Spring 3.0.6 using REST services. I've followed the tutorial online but the MultipartFile parameter is always null. Here's the config and code:
application-context.xml:
<bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
<property name="maxUploadSize" value="2000000"/>
</bean>
pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Upload a file please</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Please upload a file</h1>
<form method="post" action="/site/restServices/artworkUpload/" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<input type="file" name="file"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
REST Controller:
#POST
#Path("/artworkUpload")
public String uploadFile(#RequestParam("name") String name,
#RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) {
try {
if (!file.isEmpty()) {
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
// store the bytes somewhere
return "redirect:uploadSuccess";
} else {
return "redirect:uploadFailure";
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
return null;
}
I copied the example from Spring's tutorial but no matter what I change, the file parameter is always null. "name" will have the value in the text box but file will be null.
I have also tried using Jersey and I receive the InputStream for the file but the FormDataContentDisposition is null so I can't determine the file type.
This is running on Jetty as well.
What am I missing?

As I remember I solved same issue by putting additional libs to my build path:
commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
commons-io-2.1.jar
I hope this will help you.
Edit.
Ok. At last I had time for this issue. First of all, why do you use standart java features for building rest service (annotations #POST, #Path)? Because with Spring it is better to use spring MVC futures for REST. There is a lot of information about this in internet. Here is special part in reference documentation. Also here is good article on IBM site. Also very good description on how to build REST controller with Spring MVC is in Spring in Action (last 3-d edition).
Here how I have implemented simple file uploading functionality:
Rest controller:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/rest/files")
public class FilesController {
...
#RequestMapping(value="/rest/files", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String uploadFile(#RequestParam("name") String name,
#RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) {
try {
if (!file.isEmpty()) {
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
// store the bytes somewhere
return "redirect:uploadSuccess";
} else {
return "redirect:uploadFailure";
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
return "/testFileDownload";
}
}

<h1>Please upload a file</h1>
<form method="post" action="rest/files" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" /> <input type="file" name="file" /> <input
type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
View resolver configuration in dispatcher-servlet.xml:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
<property name="mediaTypes">
<map>
<entry key="file" value="multipart/form-data"/>
<entry key="html" value="text/html"/>
</map>
</property>
<property name="viewResolvers">
<list>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.BeanNameViewResolver"/>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
I hope I'm not wasted my time and this is still necessary for you. )
EDIT 2
Here is very good tutorial where described how to build RESTful web service with Spring 3.1.

It helped me to connect this library:

<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
