Calling a POST method from a pop up
Question
I have one controller called IndexController. It has a @GetMapping and @PostMapping methods. When the user types in the URL to go to /index, it loads a list of books. On that index page, there's a 'Add a new book' button that triggers a modal pop up. When the user enters in information in the form and clicks the 'Add' button, it should call the @PostMapping method. It's not calling the method. The model for the form is the IndexBook.
IndexController class:
@Controller
public class IndexController {
@GetMapping("/index")
public String formGet(Model model) {
BookService bookService = new BookService();
ArrayList<ReviewedBook> reviewedBooks = bookService.getRecordedBooks(1);
model.addAttribute("indexbook", new IndexBook());
model.addAttribute("books", reviewedBooks);
return "index";
}
@PostMapping("/index")
public String formPost(@ModelAttribute IndexBook ib, Model model) {
System.out.println("Post for index called.");
BookService bookService = new BookService();
return "index";
}
}
IndexBook:
public class IndexBook {
private int userId;
private String title;
private String author;
private String isbn;
private String genre;
private String dateRead;
private int rating;
public void setUserId(int userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
public int getUserId() {
return userId;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setAuthor(String author) {
this.author = author;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public void setIsbn(String isbn) {
this.isbn = isbn;
}
public String getIsbn() {
return isbn;
}
public void setGenre(String genre) {
this.genre = genre;
}
public String getGenre() {
return genre;
}
public void setDateRead(String dateRead) {
this.dateRead = dateRead;
}
public String getDateRead() {
return dateRead;
}
public void setRating(int rating) {
this.rating = rating;
}
public int getRating() {
return rating;
}
}
index.html (scroll down a bit to the comment 'Modal content')

You need to change your button type, in order to submit your form.
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Add</button>
</div>
When you have a button element with type button, it is only clickable, but it won't submit a form, unless you specified an action in js .
