Thymeleaf Spring MVC Integration Example
Thymeleaf is an xml, xhtml, html5 template engine and good alternative for JSP. You can see how we integrate it with spring mvc.
package com.springthymeleaf.controller; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod; @Controller @RequestMapping("/") public class HelloController { @RequestMapping(value = "/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET) public String getMovie(@PathVariable String name, ModelMap model) { model.addAttribute("name", name); return "hello"; } }
