Why wont thymeleaf insert my html block of code?

This is a very trivial question: why won't thymeleaf connect my html code? I looked at various stackoverflow questions, but I seriously don't get what the issue is here.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
    xmlns:sec="http://www.thymeleaf.org">

<body>
<div th:replace="header::head"></div>

    <h1>Hello </h1>



</body>


</html>

header.html

<div th:fragment="head">
    <header>
        <ol>
            <li>Home</li>
            <li>About</li>
        </ol>
    </header>

    <h2>Imported</h2>
</div>

File hierarchy

Solution

  • You should move your templates (index.html and header.html) from static folder to the templates folder.

    Files from templates are processed by Thymeleaf.
    Files from static are served "as is".
