SpringBoot: parse button value to controller

Question

im new in springboot and really need your expertise. Please help me.

i need to pass the data to controller when the button is click. Now im facing with the error below, what actually i do wrong in my code ?

'java.lang.String' to required type 'com.portal.dmtt.model.taskSchJob'; nested exception is org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Failed to convert from type [java.lang.String] to type [java.lang.Long] for value 'TEST'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "TEST"

Controller

@RequestMapping(value="/runJob", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String runJob(Model model, taskSchJob schJob) {
     System.out.println("Start get request");
     model.addAttribute("theTaskSchJobList", new taskSchJob());
     schJob.getScript();
     System.out.println("End get request");
     return "redirect:/cronJob";
}

@RequestMapping(value="/runJob", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String customerSubmit(@ModelAttribute taskSchJob schJob, Model model,@RequestParam String taskJobScript) {
     System.out.println("Start post request");
     System.out.println("End post request" + taskJobScript.toString());
     return "redirect:/cronJob";
}

HTML

<tbody>
    <tr th:each="taskJob : ${theTaskSchJobList}" style="text-align: center">
        <form th:action="@{/runJob}" th:object="${theTaskSchJobList}" th:method="POST">
            <td th:text="${taskJob.id}">Id</td>
            <td th:text="${taskJob.title}">Username</td>
            <td th:text="${taskJob.script}">Script</td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td>
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" th:value="${taskJob.script}" th:name="taskSchJob">
                    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-play"></span>
                </button>
        </form>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>

Model

@Entity
@Table (name = "task_Sch_Job")
public class taskSchJob {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id")
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "title")
    private String title;

    @Column(name = "username")
    private String username;

    @Column(name = "script")
    private String script;

    @Column(name = "date_create")
    private String date_create;

    @Column(name = "cron_job")
    private String cron_job;

    @Column(name = "status")
    private String status;

    //------
    //setter and getter
    //------

the below image is, when the user click the button, it will send the data 'title' to the controller.

Your custom class com.portal.dmtt.model.taskSchJob isn't String. Please consider passing the valid JSON/XML in request body. This is applied to model object as well.

is there any method without use json or html? i looked an example, where they just use (@Requestparam). – Amir Asyraf Apr 25 '18 at 09:20
You need `json` if you wish to send the complete `taskSchJob` object in `request body`. `Query parameters` will work if you wish to send small data. – Shanu Gupta Apr 25 '18 at 09:22

thank you sir. But my objective is, i just wan the specific data Ex: if user click the button number 1, it will send title data "TEST" to the controller. – Amir Asyraf Apr 25 '18 at 09:25

finally, i did it.Please find the below answer:

@RequestMapping(value = "/taskRun/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET, params = "actionEdit")
public String taskEdit(Model model, @PathVariable(required = true, name = "id") Long id) {

    System.out.println("Start GET request: the id is: " + id);


    return "redirect:/cronJob";
}

HTML text by using GET Method

<form th:action="@{/taskRun/__${taskJob.id}__}">
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" th:name="actionRun" th:value="run">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-play"></span>
</button></form>
