Spring Boot can't resolve Thymeleaf view

Question

I integrate Spring Boot with Thymeleaf but the web doesn't redirect or forward after the controller returns a view. This is Thymeleaf page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" th:href="@{/css/style.css}">


</head>

<body>

            <div class="cont_forms">

                </div>
                <div class="cont_form_login">
                    <a href="#" onclick="ocultar_login_sign_up()"><i class="material-icons">&#xE5C4;</i></a>
                    <h3>login</h3>
                    <input id="login_name" type="text" placeholder="username"/>
                    <input id="login_password" type="password" placeholder="password"/>
                    <div class="checkbox mb-3" style="margin:5% auto 0% 2%">
                        <label>
                            <input type="checkbox" id="remember"> Remember me
                        </label>
                    </div>
                    <p style="color: red" th:text="${msg}" th:if="${not #strings.isEmpty(msg)}"></p>
                    <button class="btn_login" onclick="login('http://localhost:8080/assignment/user/login')">login</button>
                </div>

            </div>

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<script src="https://cdn.bootcss.com/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.bootcss.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/index.js"></script>

<script>
    function login(url) {
        var username = document.getElementById("login_name").value;
        var password = document.getElementById("login_password").value;
        $.post(url, {'username':username, 'password':password});
    }

</script>

</body>

</html>

And I have a controller:

@RestController
public class LoginController {

    @Autowired
    private StudentRepository studentRepository;

    @Autowired
    private TeacherRepository teacherRepository;

    @PostMapping(value = "/user/login")
    public ModelAndView login(@RequestParam("username") String username,
                              @RequestParam("password") String password,
                              Map<String, Object> info,
                              HttpSession session) {
        ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
        mv.setViewName("index");
            Optional<Student> student = studentRepository.findById(username);
            if (!student.isPresent()) {
                info.put("msg", "User doesn't exist.");
            } else {
                try {
                    if (!EncryptUtil.aesDecrypt(student.get().getPassword()).equals(password)) {
                        info.put("msg", "Wrong password!");
                    } else {
                        System.out.println("-------------------------success");
                        session.setAttribute("user", student.get().getName()); 
                        mv.setViewName("student/homework");
                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        return mv;
    }
}

I can see ------------------------success in the console which means method login has exited succefully ** but the page doesn't change.** It doesn't just go to the view student/homework . Anyony helps? Additionally this is the pom.xml :

-------------------------UPDATE-------------------------------
This is the stack trace:

-------------------------success

Also, I find another problem. I tried to custom Spring MVC so I wrote a configuration class:

@Configuration
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Bean
    public WebMvcConfigurerAdapter webMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
        WebMvcConfigurerAdapter adapter = new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
                // welcome page
                registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("index");
                registry.addViewController("/index.html").setViewName("index");
            }
        };
        return adapter;
    }
}

But IDEA shows that WebMvcConfigurerAdapter has been deprecated. What should I do? I can't find a solution in the Spring Boot reference doc.

Answer 1

To render view you need to use @Controller .

Change this:

@RestController
public class LoginController {
}

To:

@Controller
public class LoginController {
}

Answer 2

Instead of using ModelAndView, try using Model . Do following -

Use Controller instead of RestController .
Change return type to String.
Add thymeleaf attributes to your Model object.
Return the template name you want to display.
Configure the template path in your properties/YML file -
spring.thymeleaf.prefix = classpath:/YOUR FOLDER NAME/
