SQL Thymeleaf Dialect and Example

Overview

Once upon a time there were websites with a one to one matching between requests and pages.

Firstly, those pages were just HTML. Then dynamic content was added in the form of SSI or CGI. Later, a lot of websites were made using that paradigm with the ASP, JSP or PHP languages.

As a pastime, this example web application introduces a way of doing PHP-like web pages using Thymeleaf with zero Java code.

Quick start

1. Download source code
2. Run mvn jetty:run
3. Open http://localhost:8080/
4. You can modify HTML files on src/main/webapp folder on the fly.

To do

There is a lot of room for improvement. For example:

• Configure a nice ErrorPage
• Unit test dialect code
• Allow several queries per page (providing variable name for the result)
• Add utilities for common tasks: redirection, binary upload...
