Can not edit data from database via thymeleaf and spring-CodePudding

I want to edit data from database via form "bookUpdate.html", that I can open from page "bookList.html" with the list of all rows from the table. I created a controller and form, that redirect me to the page with filled fields, that contain right data according the value "id", where object = "book". Button "Edit" redirect me to the page "/bookUpdate/1?", it is right. But when I try to confirm a new information via button on this page, this action redirect me to "bookUpdate.html" with an error 404, and new data were not saved in database. I can not find a mistake in this case.

bookUpdate.html

CodePudding user response：

In your bookUpdate.html file, the action property is not set correctly. Your form after posting send information to @{/bookUpdate} but in related controller, defined PostMapping required @PostMapping("/bookUpdate/{id}") and they are mismach.

Change your form action property to :

<form th:action="@{'/bookUpdate/' ${book.id}}" th:object="${book}" method="post">
