I am trying to perform a simple submit operation from a form. I use spring boot framework with thyme leaf template for my project. Language used is java in eclipse IDE.
All I am looking to do is to take the empname and empid (refer Employee class) from the form and store it in a java object.
When I run the application, the application opens and when i navigate to edit.html, i get this error message in the browser -
Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback. Mon Jun 18 16:14:40 EDT 2018 There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500). An error happened during template parsing (template: "class path resource [templates/edit.html]")
I also get this error message on the console -
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'empname' of bean class [com.cardinalcommerce.model.Employee]: Bean property 'empname' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter? at org.springframework.beans.AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.getPropertyValue(AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.java:622) ~[spring-beans-5.0.6.RELEASE.jar:5.0.6.RELEASE] at org.springframework.beans.AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.getPropertyValue(AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.java:612) ~[spring-beans-5.0.6.RELEASE.jar:5.0.6.RELEASE] at org.springframework.validation.AbstractPropertyBindingResult.getActualFieldValue(AbstractPropertyBindingResult.java:104) ~[spring-context-5.0.6.RELEASE.jar:5.0.6.RELEASE] at org.springframework.validation.AbstractBindingResult.getFieldValue(AbstractBindingResult.java:228) ~[spring-context-5.0.6.RELEASE.jar:5.0.6.RELEASE] at org.springframework.web.servlet.support.BindStatus.(BindStatus.java:129) ~[spring-webmvc-5.0.6.RELEASE.jar:5.0.6.RELEASE] at org.springframework.web.servlet.support.RequestContext.getBindStatus(RequestContext.java:903) ~[spring-webmvc-5.0.6.RELEASE.jar:5.0.6.RELEASE] at org.thymeleaf.spring5.context.webmvc.SpringWebMvcThymeleafRequestContext.getBindStatus(SpringWebMvcThymeleafRequestContext.java:227) ~[thymeleaf-spring5-3.0.9.RELEASE.jar:3.0.9.RELEASE] at org.thymeleaf.spring5.util.FieldUtils.getBindStatusFromParsedExpression(FieldUtils.java:305) ~[thymeleaf-spring5-3.0.9.RELEASE.jar:3.0.9.RELEASE] at org.thymeleaf.spring5.util.FieldUtils.getBindStatus(FieldUtils.java:252) ~[thymeleaf-spring5-3.0.9.RELEASE.jar:3.0.9.RELEASE] at org.thymeleaf.spring5.util.FieldUtils.getBindStatus(FieldUtils.java:226) ~[thymeleaf-spring5-3.0.9.RELEASE.jar:3.0.9.RELEASE] at org.thymeleaf.spring5.processor.AbstractSpringFieldTagProcessor.doProcess(AbstractSpringFieldTagProcessor.java:174) ~[thymeleaf-spring5-3.0.9.RELEASE.jar:3.0.9.RELEASE] at org.thymeleaf.processor.element.AbstractAttributeTagProcessor.doProcess(AbstractAttributeTagProcessor.java:74) ~[thymeleaf-3.0.9.RELEASE.jar:3.0.9.RELEASE] ... 67 common frames omitted
This is my snippet of the html document where the error occurs.
<form class="form-horizontal" action="#" th:action="@{/employee/edit}" th:object="${employee}" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-3">File Prefix:</label>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<input type="text" class="form-control" th:field="*{empname}" placeholder="Enter employee name" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-3">File Prefix:</label>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<input type="text" class="form-control" th:field="*{empid}" placeholder="Enter the employee ID" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-3 col-sm-7">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" id="blackButton" th:value="Submit">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" class="btn btn-default" id="blackButton" th:value="Reset">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
This is my class where with the setters and getters -
public class Employee {
private String empid;
private String empname;
public String getEmployeeId() {
return empid;
}
public void setEmployeeId(String empid) {
this.empid = empid ;
}
public String getEmployeeName() {
return empname;
}
public void setEmployeeName(String empname) {
this.empname = empname;
}
}
This is the controller snippet -
@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/")
public class GreetingController {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GreetingController.class);
@Autowired
private SomeRecord someRecord;
@GetMapping("/")
public String greeting() {
return "about";
}
@RequestMapping("/about")
public String about() {
return "about";
}
@GetMapping("/edit")
public ModelAndView edit() {
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("edit");
modelAndView.addObject("employee", new Employee());
return modelAndView;
}
@PostMapping("/edit")
public ModelAndView createRecord(@Valid Employee employee, BindingResult result) {
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
if (result.hasErrors()) {
logger.info("Validation errors while submitting form.");
modelAndView.setViewName("CreateRecord");
modelAndView.addObject("employee", employee);
return modelAndView;
}
someRecord.addRecord(employee);
modelAndView.addObject("allRecords", someRecord.getAllRecordData());
modelAndView.setViewName("recordsInfo");
logger.info("Form submitted successfully.");
return modelAndView;
}
@GetMapping("/view")
public String view() {
return "view";
}
}
Let me know if anything else is required. Thanks for your help.
