When using Spring with Thymeleaf all my Cyrillic characters are shown as ????? on pages.
Using
@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/html; charset=utf-8")
as it was suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11866822/1479414 and here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12023816/1479414 doesn't help.
How to solve this issue?
The answer can be found here:
Property characterEncoding should be explicitly set for templateResolver and ThymeleafViewResolver:
<bean id="templateResolver" class="org.thymeleaf.templateresolver.ServletContextTemplateResolver">
...
<property name="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
...
</bean>
<bean class="org.thymeleaf.spring4.view.ThymeleafViewResolver">
...
<property name="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
...
</bean>
working for me. java config
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.projectName.controller")
public class MVCConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer, ApplicationContextAware {
@Autowired
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
@Override
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws
BeansException {
this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
}
@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver(){
ThymeleafViewResolver thymeleafViewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
thymeleafViewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
thymeleafViewResolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
return thymeleafViewResolver;
}
@Bean
public TemplateEngine templateEngine(){
SpringTemplateEngine springTemplateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
springTemplateEngine.setEnableSpringELCompiler(true);
springTemplateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
return springTemplateEngine;
}
@Bean
public ITemplateResolver templateResolver(){
SpringResourceTemplateResolver springResourceTemplateResolver = new
SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
springResourceTemplateResolver.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);
springResourceTemplateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
springResourceTemplateResolver.setTemplateMode(TemplateMode.HTML);
springResourceTemplateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
springResourceTemplateResolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
return springResourceTemplateResolver;
}
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry
.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
.addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
}
in Config
public class SpringConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
private final ApplicationContext applicationContext;
@Autowired
public SpringConfig(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
}
@Bean
public SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
templateResolver.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);
templateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
templateResolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
return templateResolver;
}
@Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine() {
SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
templateEngine.setEnableSpringELCompiler(true);
return templateEngine;
}
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
ThymeleafViewResolver resolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
resolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
resolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
registry.viewResolver(resolver);
}
}
In ServletInitializer
public class MySpringMvcDispatcherServletInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
return null;
}
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
return new Class[]{SpringConfig.class};
}
@Override
protected String[] getServletMappings() {
return new String[]{"/"};
}
@Override
protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {
CharacterEncodingFilter filter = new CharacterEncodingFilter();
filter.setEncoding("UTF-8");
filter.setForceEncoding(true);
return new Filter[] { filter };
}
}
If you have added <property name="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8"/> in the bean configuration for view resolver and still text are not shown in correct format then the problem is in the properties/resource_bundle files.
Try encoding UTF-8 or non-English characters with native2ascii tool. (its included in the java_home/bin folder.
In my case, I put below 2 lines in application.properties file
spring.thymeleaf.enabled=true
spring.thymeleaf.encoding=UTF-8
(Korean)Reference: https://blog.thjang.net/33
With Spring WebFlux, I've restricted the view resolver to use text/html; charset=UTF-8 as the only supported content type. I've used a custom WebFluxConfigurer for that (in Kotlin):
class CustomWebFluxConfigurer(
private val viewResolver: ThymeleafReactiveViewResolver
) : WebFluxConfigurer {
override fun configureViewResolvers(registry: ViewResolverRegistry) {
viewResolver.supportedMediaTypes =
listOf(MediaType.parseMediaType("text/html; charset=UTF-8"))
registry.viewResolver(viewResolver)
}
}
I think in thymeleaf html page you are using th:text with html element, th:text it just display normal text,
if you want use special charter with your thymeleaf html page so just need to change for example
th:utext="${yourcontroller_var}"
or
th:utext="#{properties_var}"
For example
<div th:utext="${user.name}"> Test! </div> // for your controller variable
And
<div th:utext="#{message.username}"> UserName! </div> // for your properties variable
Nothing do other configuration for using special character with thymeleaf html page.
Hope you will fix your problem
