    @Autowired
    private UserService userService;

    @GetMapping("/account")
    public ModelAndView adminPage(){
        ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
        modelAndView.setViewName("account");
        //modelAndView.addObject("users", userService.getAllUsers());
        return modelAndView;
    }


    @PutMapping("/renameUsername")

}

User service method responsible for username change:

public  void changeUsername(String oldUserName, User newUserName) {
    User user = userRepository.findOne(oldUserName);
    user.setLogonName(newUserName.getLogonName());
    userRepository.save(user);
}

<p>Change username:</p>
<p class="description">Enter your username, which you will use to login</p>

        </p>
      </dd>
    </dl>
  </form>
</div>

I have tried to fix the problem using articles in which people where reporting similar problems but solutions where not working. Mostly there was problems with typo in variable/model name. I checked this but still I am getting this problem.

Any suggestions why I am getting this error?

Answer 1

In your code /modelAndView.addObject("users", userService.getAllUsers()); . But in your view <form th:action="@{/renameUsername}" th:method="put" th:object="${user}">:

Changes users to user.
