Failed to instantiate [org.thymeleaf.templateresolver.ServletContextTemplateResolver]: No default constructor found

Question

I want to integrate Spring 4 with Thymeleaf, but I got:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name \'templateReso         


        

Answer 1

Short
Replace ThymeleafViewResolver with SpringResourceTemplateResolver:

<bean
    id="templateResolver"
    class="org.thymeleaf.spring4.templateresolver.SpringResourceTemplateResolver"
    p:prefix="/WEB-INF/templates/"
    p:suffix=".html"
    p:templateMode="HTML5"
>
</bean>

Long
Few days ago I had the same problem when used Tutorial: Thymeleaf + Spring, it is a bit outdated. Solution was found at "Thymeleaf 3 ten-minute migration guide":

The first difference with the Thymeleaf 2 configuration is that now the recommended template resolver for Spring applications is SpringResourceTemplateResolver

Answer 2

You will need to hook in your templateEngine to the viewResolver. Here's my working one:

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.thymeleaf.spring4.view.ThymeleafViewResolver">
    <property name="order" value="1"/>
    <property name="characterEncoding" value="UTF-8"/>
    <property name="templateEngine" ref="templateEngine"/> <!-- THIS -->
</bean>

<bean id="templateEngine" class="org.thymeleaf.spring4.SpringTemplateEngine">
    <property name="templateResolvers">
        <set>
            <ref bean="webTemplateResolver"/>
        </set>
    </property>
    <property name="additionalDialects">
        <set>
            <bean class="org.thymeleaf.extras.springsecurity4.dialect.SpringSecurityDialect"/>
        </set>
    </property>
</bean>
