everybody. I have two application. The first one is a CRUD spring boot JPA web mvc application. it works fine with these code. (via repositories database)
@RequestMapping(value = { "/newUser" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String newUser(ModelMap model) {
User user = new User();
List<UserProfile> roles = userProfileRepository.findAll();
model.addAttribute("user", user);
model.addAttribute("allRoles", roles);
return "registration";
}
@RequestMapping(value = { "/newUser" }, method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String saveUser(@Valid User user, BindingResult result,
ModelMap model) {
if (result.hasErrors()) {
List<UserProfile> roles = userProfileRepository.findAll();
model.addAttribute("allRoles", roles);
model.addAttribute("user", user);
return "registration";
}
userRepository.save(user);
return "registrationsuccess";
}
and a part of registration.html is
<select class="form-control input-sm" id="userProfiles" name="userProfiles" multiple="multiple" th:required="true">
<option th:each="role : ${allRoles}"
th:value="${{role}}"
th:text="${role.type}"
th:selected="${role.id == 1}"
>Role
</option>
</select>
the code above works fine.
The second application is a resttemplate based spring boot
@RequestMapping(value = { "/newUser" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String newUser(ModelMap model) {
User user = new User();
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
List<UserProfile> userProfiles = Arrays.asList(restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8080/api/roles", UserProfile[].class));
ArrayList<UserProfile> roles = new ArrayList<>(userProfiles);
model.addAttribute("user", user);
model.addAttribute("allRoles", roles);
return "registration";
}
@RequestMapping(value = { "/newUser" }, method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String saveUser(@Valid User user, BindingResult result,
ModelMap model) {
if (result.hasErrors()) {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
List<UserProfile> userProfiles = Arrays.asList(restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8080/api/roles", UserProfile[].class));
ArrayList<UserProfile> roles = new ArrayList<>(userProfiles);
model.addAttribute("allRoles", roles);
model.addAttribute("user", user);
return "registration";
}
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.postForObject("http://localhost:8080/api/users", user, User.class);
return "registrationsuccess";
}
multiple select form is the same like first app has (identical) But the second app throws exceptions when registration.html is called
There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
An error happened during template parsing (template: "class path resource [templates/registration.html]")

PS. I've tested all the methods (PUT, GET, DELETE and POST) via PostMan. And it works fine. I don't understand the different behavior of thymeleaf..
Remove the double-bracket syntax from th:value="${{role}}" as described in the stacktrace.
The double brackets apply a conversion service, typically used for things like dates. This in the Data Conversion section of the docs.
