I'm downloading a PDF file with a web app, developed with Spring Boot 2.0.3 and using Thymeleaf, from an admin section, protected with Spring Security. Locally it works fine, but online I get this error:
org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template "/email/confirmedbooking", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers] with root cause
This is the controller:
@GetMapping("/admin/bookings/booking-pdf")
public void generatePdfBooking(@RequestParam Long idbooking, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, Exception{
bookingService.setBookingService(idbooking);
Booking booking = bookingService.getBooking();
Guest guest = bookingService.getGuest();
String idlanguage;
if(guest.getIdlanguage() != null){
idlanguage = guest.getIdlanguage();
} else {idlanguage = "en";}
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("booking", booking);
map.put("guest", guest);
byte[] data = pdfGenerator.createPdf("/email/confirmedbooking", map, idlanguage);
pdfGenerator.streamReport(response, data, "id-" + booking.getIdbooking() + ".pdf");
}
This is an extract of the html page:
<!DOCTYPE html>

</td>
</tr>

<span th:text="${booking.idbooking}"></span>
....
As a template generator I'm using org.xhtmlrenderer.pdf.ITextRenderer (flying-saucer-pdf).
I've tested providing different .html files to generate the PDF at pdfGenerator.createPdf("/email/confirmedbooking", map, idlanguage);, but the result is always the same.
Following the advice from Daniel Mikusa, I have been able to solve the issue, taking out the first / from
/email/confirmedbooking, leaving the code like this:It seems that it didn't recognise the path, probably because of the double slash issue, already explained at this post: Error resolving template with Spring Boot using Thymeleaf packaged in a jar
