Thymeleaf: ClassNotFoundException: org.unbescape.html.HtmlEscape


My simple Spring Boot application with thymeleaf doesn't work. It gives me an "unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).org/unbescape/html/HtmlEscape" when request the localhost:8080/hello:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {

    @RequestMapping(value= "/hello", method= RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView hello() {
        System.out.println(getClass() + "- hello page is invoked.");

        ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
        mav.addObject("name", "geek!");
        mav.setViewName("myhello");
        return mav;
    }
}

Here is the view in my src/main/resources/templates:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title th:text="'Hello, ' + ${name} + '!'"></title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>My Template</h1>
    <h2 class="hello-title" th:text="'Hello, ' + ${name} + '!'"></h2>
</body>
</html>

There is an ClassNotFoundException for org.unbescape.html.HtmlEscape. Why is this class required by thymeleaf? I tried to resolve it by adding the ubescape dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.unbescape</groupId>
        <artifactId>unbescape</artifactId>
         <version>1.1.6.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Although the unbescape1.1.6.RELEASE.jar was downloaded in MAVEN dependencies, the same error still occurred when I tested again. Any idea?


Solution

  • After a week of struggle, finally I found this:

    I followed the suggestion to delete the unbescape folder in maven repository & did a re-update. The error disappeared.
