Thymeleaf - Wont display 1 of 6 getter-methods

Question

So, I'm doing an assignment where we have to use Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. I need to display the bio box of a user in the system, but it doesn't allow me. I can easily System.out.print the bio, but I can not make it show on my html page. Controller looks like this:

@GetMapping("/myProfile")
public String myProfile(HttpServletRequest request, Model model){
    HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    User user = (User) session.getAttribute("user");
    model.addAttribute("userToDisplay", userToDisplay);
    System.out.println("Printing from myProfile "+ user.getBio());
    if(user!=null){
        return "myProfile";
    } else{
        return "redirect:/";
    }
}

And the relevant HTML part looks like:

         <div class="textarea">
            <form action="/infoPost" method="post" id="bioForm">
                <textarea id="infoBox" name="bio" rows="10" cols="50" th:field="${userToDisplay.getBio()}" placeholder="Describe yourself.. "></textarea>
                <input type="submit" value="Gem Description" class="submitDescription">
            </form>
        </div>

I have absolutely no idea what should be causing this. As I can make it show users full name, username, email etc. But not the bio, even though its printable. Anyone has any ideas?

Best regards

Answer 1

I wrongfully used the wrong object of my user model. I should of course use the session user.
