Hello buddies, i have two models, User and Role. i have inserted three roles(ADMIN, CUSTOMER, DEALER) in table Roles. I have made these roles available to Thymeleaf User Type field to be chosen during registration.
Controller Model Attribute for roles.
@ModelAttribute("roles")
public List<Role> initializeRoles(){
List<Role> roles = roleRepository.findAll();
return roles ;
}
Then here is my thymeleaf to display the available roles for user to choose during registration.
<div class="col-1.5">
<label th:for="roles"> User Type: </label>
<select class="form-control form-control-sm" id="agentName">
<option value="">Select User Type</option>
<option th:each="initializeRoles:${roles}"
th:value="${initializeRoles.id}"
th:text="${initializeRoles.name}"
>
</option>
</select>
</div>
Finally here is my User Service to submit registration data input by the user:
public void save(User user) {
user.setEnabled(false);
user.setPword(new BCryptPasswordEncoder().encode(user.getPword()));
user.setRoles(user.getRoles());
userRepository.save(user);
}
i'm expecting the role selected from user type field to be submitted and assigned as a role to that user. however, the rest of user data is successfully persisted except the selected role. Where i'm i going wrong?
