Springboot template files not loading
I am writing my first web application for Springboot with a 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 when I run the project and type the url below in the web browser
http://localhost:8080/greeting
The result displays only this text: hello , while it should display this text: Hello, World!
I tried to move greeting.html from templates folder but still no luck. As I understand it, springboot should automatically scan for components and load resource files correctly.
Please help advise on this issue.
