Thymeleaf: From controller to html - html

Question

I have a table of values with an href.
<tr th:each="note : ${test}">
<td th:text="${note.name}">></td>
<td th:text="${note.lastName}"></td>
<td th:text="${note.studentId}"></td>
<td>
<a th:href="#{'/seeStudent/' + ${note.studentId}}">Ver</a>
</td>
</tr>
This is my controller:
#GetMapping("/seeStudent/{id}")
public String getStudentById(#PathVariable Long id, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("student", repo.findById(id));
return "seeStudent";
}
This is my HTML:
<div>
<h1>Student information</h1>
<ul>
<div th:object="${student}">
<li>
<h4>
<span th:text="${name}"></span>
</h4>
<h4>
<span th:text="${lastName}"></span>
</h4>
</li>
</div>
</ul>
</div>
For some reason the display is comming up blank, it is as if it wasn't finding the student by Id. When I debug it does locate the student and return it. I believe I may be doing something wrong when trying to pull the object data and display it in my html. Any ideas?

Answer 1

If you're using th:object, your expression should be (with an asterisk) *{name} and *{lastName}. If you want to use the equivalent (dollar sign) ${...} expression, it would be ${student.name} and ${student.lastName}.
