Spring Boot and Thymeleaf 3.0.0.RELEASE integration

Question

I have a problem, when I try integrate Spring Boot 1.3.5.RELEASE and Thymeleaf 3.0.0.Release. I know that Spring Boot now support Thymeleaf 3 version so I try workaround this problem like this :

@SpringBootApplication(exclude={org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.thymeleaf.ThymeleafAutoConfiguration.class})

and add my own SpringWebConfig configuration. unfortunately received error like this :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.thymeleaf.resourceresolver.IResourceResolver
    at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381) ~[na:1.8.0_66]

M                                                                                                        ake sure your own configuration does not rely on that class. This can also happen if you are @ComponentScanning a springframework package (e.g. if you put a @ComponentScan in the default package by mistake)

Solution 1

It's much simpler, just read this: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.5.x/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-use-thymeleaf-3

<properties>
    <thymeleaf.version>3.0.2.RELEASE</thymeleaf.version>
    <thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version>2.1.1</thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version>
</properties>

Solution 2

As stated in the documentation for 1.4.7.RELEASE: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.4.7.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-use-thymeleaf-3

---

If you use Gradle put this in the build.gradle file:

Gradle: build.gradle

ext['thymeleaf.version'] = '3.0.2.RELEASE'
ext['thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version'] = '2.1.1'

---

If you use Maven put this in the pom.xml file:

Maven: pom.xml

<properties>
    <thymeleaf.version>3.0.2.RELEASE</thymeleaf.version>
    <thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version>2.1.1</thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version>
</properties>

(since I have not enough reputation, I posted an answer instead of a comment on one of the previous answers. Especially the build.gradle part.)

Solution 3

spring boot 1.4.0 + thymeleaf 3.0.1

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.thymeleaf</groupId>
        <artifactId>thymeleaf</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.thymeleaf</groupId>
        <artifactId>thymeleaf-spring4</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>nz.net.ultraq.thymeleaf</groupId>
        <artifactId>thymeleaf-layout-dialect</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.3</version>
    </dependency>

Solution 4

For Maven project just add following line on pom.xml

<properties>
    <thymeleaf.version>3.0.2.RELEASE</thymeleaf.version>
    <thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version>2.1.1</thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version>
</properties>

For gradle project create a gradle.properties file with following contents

thymeleaf.version=3.0.2.RELEASE
thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version=2.1.1

Thanks very much for your help, I am a little confused by this configuration and integration Thymeleaf and Spring Boot. But the problem remains.... Temporarily in the target project back to a previous version thymeleaf. Below a link to a proof on concept of this solution. There is a full configuration and dependencies.

Please also add some explanation of how the above code solves the problem.

[Sergey Vyacheslavovich Brunov]

This has helped. The case: Spring Boot is used as a POM-import dependency, not the parent POM.

Better use the properties of Henrique's answer
