I'm trying to make a small climbing website as a personal project but I struggle to put value inside my modelAttribute.
@RequestMapping("/new_topo")
public String addTopo(Model model){
Topo topo = new Topo();
Sector sector = new Sector();
model.addAttribute("topo", topo);
model.addAttribute("sector", sector);
return "new_topo";
}
As you can see, I add in my model 1 instance of Topo and Sector, where data will be received here :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Add a Spot</title>
</head>
<body>
<div th:replace="fragment/header :: header"> </div>
<h1 align="center">Add a topo</h1>
<form action="#" th:action="@{/save_topo}" method="post">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td>cotation</td>
<td> <input type="text" th:field ="${topo.cotation}"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>sector</td>
<td> <input type="text" th:value ="${sector.name}"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>spits_amount</td>
<td> <input type="number" th:field ="${topo.spitAmount}"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><button type="submit">Save</button> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
the problem is that when I try to have access to sector's field, it says that "Sector is null" while topo's fields are received perfectly fine. This is how I check the data received :
@RequestMapping(value = "/save_topo", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String saveTopo(@ModelAttribute("topo") Topo topo, @ModelAttribute("sector") Sector sector){
System.out.println("============================");
System.out.println(topo.getCotation() + " " + topo.getSpitAmount()); // Data 100% received
System.out.println("============================");
System.out.println("NAME IS EQUALS TO : " + sector.getName()); // null, did not receive the input from the form
topo.getSector().add(sector);
sector.setTopo(topo);
topoService.save(topo);
sService.save(sector);
return "topos";
}
note that i'm totally new in the web / back end community and that I might not know 100% of how things works (which I think will be obvious for you).
Thank you for any upcoming help !
EDIT : This might help ?
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback. Tue Mar 17 09:05:27 GMT 2020 There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).

Please try this (note the name attribute, which should equal to the bean field names):
<input type="text" th:value="${sector.name}" name="name">
If it doesn`t work, change the rest like this too:
<input type="text" th:value="${topo.cotation}" name="cotation"> </td>
<input type="number" th:value="${topo.spitAmount}" name="spitAmount"> </td>
