How to compare string with request parameter in html in Thymeleaf tag \"th:if\" ? right now i am using this
It's not working because param.error
is array of strings. You must retrieve first element of array (param.error[0]
) to get first value of parameter (see documentation). Besides that you can access request parameter via Web context object method #httpServletRequest.getParameter
that returns first value when parameter is multivalued (see documentation).
Usage of Web context namespaces for request attributes
<div class="error" th:if="${param.error[0] == 'badCredentialsException'}" th:with="errorMsg=#{login.badCredentials}">
<p class="errorMsg"><span th:text="${errorMsg}"></span></p>
</div>
Usage of Web context object
<div class="error" th:if="${#httpServletRequest.getParameter('error') == 'badCredentialsException'}" th:with="errorMsg=#{login.badCredentials}">
<p class="errorMsg"><span th:text="${errorMsg}"></span></p>
</div>
With Thymeleaf 3, I normally use #request (a short form of #httpservletrequest
) and #strings.equals() for that, which will look like this:
<div th:if="${#strings.equals(#request.getParameter('error'), 'badCredentialsException')}"></div>
