Thymeleaf fork of spring-social-examples from pkainulainen

This is a fork from https://github.com/pkainulainen/spring-social-examples. It is the source to the blog post "Adding Social Sign In to a Spring MVC Web Application: Registration and Login" from Petri Kainulainen (see at http://www.petrikainulainen.net/programming/spring-framework/adding-social-sign-in-to-a-spring-mvc-web-application-registration-and-login/).

The application use JSP (Java Server Pages). Now, I replace jsp with thymeleaf in my fork.

It is easy to use thymeleaf instead of jsp. Look on the source.

Please tell me if you find a failure or a better way.

At the following you can see a part of differences between jsp and thymeleaf. The complete differences you can see at the source files.

Differences between jsp and thymeleaf

Setup

JSP:

private static final String VIEW_RESOLVER_PREFIX = "/WEB-INF/jsp/";
private static final String VIEW_RESOLVER_SUFFIX = ".jsp";

@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();

viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
viewResolver.setPrefix(VIEW_RESOLVER_PREFIX);
viewResolver.setSuffix(VIEW_RESOLVER_SUFFIX);

return viewResolver;
}

Thymeleaf (this is only a part):

@Bean
public ServletContextTemplateResolver templateResolverServlet() {
ServletContextTemplateResolver templateResolver = new ServletContextTemplateResolver();
templateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/html/");
templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
templateResolver.setTemplateMode("LEGACYHTML5");
templateResolver.setOrder(2);
templateResolver.setCacheable(false);
return templateResolver;
}

See the rest on https://github.com/lightszentip/spring-social-examples-thymeleaf/blob/master/sign-in/spring-mvc-normal/src/main/java/net/petrikainulainen/spring/social/signinmvc/config/ThymeleafView.java

Layout

For layout in thymeleaf, I have used thymeleaf-layout-dialect instead sitemesh.

JSP sitemesh layout:

<div id="view-holder">
<sitemesh:write property="body">
</div>

Thymeleaf layout:

<div id="view-holder">
<div layout:fragment="body" />
</div>

and at the thymeleaf page

layout:fragment="body"

isAuthenticated

JSP:

<sec:authorize access="isAuthenticated()"

Thymeleaf:

 <p sec:authorize="isAuthenticated()" 

Link

JSP:

<c:url value="/auth/twitter"

Thymeleaf

th:href="@{/auth/facebook}"

Username

JSP:

 <sec:authentication property="principal.username"/>

Thymeleaf:

<span sec:authentication="principal.username"></span>
