Spring Boot: Spring MVC & Thymeleaf

Rapid Web Development: Build fast SSR web apps with Spring MVC and Thymeleaf. Master forms and sessions through hands-on Active Learning.

Expected Outcome

The ability to build complete web applications with dynamic rendering, secure form handling, and session-based state management.

Target Audience

Development teams needing to quickly deliver internal tools, admin interfaces, or prototypes without frontend complexity.

Prerequisites

Basic experience with Spring Boot equivalent to 'Spring Boot Jumpstart: Essentials' is required to dive into web development.

Curriculum & Highlights

Spring MVC & SSR Architecture
Thymeleaf Syntax & Attributes
Form Binding & Submissions
Server-side Validation
HttpSession & State Management
Standard Expression Language (EL)

Internationalization (i18n)

Challenges we address

"How are dynamic and clean HTML interfaces created quickly using Thymeleaf?"

"How are form submissions and validation handled securely in Spring MVC?"

"How does HttpSession work and how is state managed in a server-side rendered application?"

Detailed Description
Despite the trend toward complex SPA frameworks, Server-side Rendering (SSR) remains the most efficient way to quickly deliver business value for internal tools and admin systems. Leveraging Spring's powerful MVC patterns in 2026 is about eliminating the technical overhead of modern frontend projects and focusing on functionality and stability. In this workshop, Thymeleaf is mastered along with Spring MVC through Active Learning pedagogy, building interactive web applications in real-time. The focus is on the entire flow: from dynamic data rendering to secure handling of user input and application state. This training provides the team with the tools needed to build solutions that are fast to develop, easy to maintain, and deliver results immediately without the need for a separate frontend team. The Model-View-Controller architecture is implemented, and Thymeleaf is used to create dynamic HTML templates using Standard Expression Syntax. During the day, professional forms with automatic Form Binding are built, server-side validation is performed, and managing user sessions via HttpSession is taught to maintain state throughout the application. By focusing on the correct use of Thymeleaf attributes and Spring's built-in support for web development, it is ensured applications adhere to established Jakarta EE standards for robust web environments. Actlea's core philosophy is that the right tool for the job is the key to productivity; SSR is often the most direct path to success for internal systems. Experience shows that when a team masters the MVC pattern and a modern templating engine, lead times for new features decrease dramatically. This workshop serves as the practical starting point for the team to confidently build and manage modern web interfaces directly within the Spring Boot ecosystem.
Recommendation & Next Steps

Once interfaces can be built, the next natural step is offering data to other systems in 'RESTful APIs with Spring Boot'.

Expertise through Active Learning

Java and the Spring Framework have been my core focus for over 20 years. Today, my mission is primarily to help organizations step into the future by integrating intelligent agents and AI-driven features into modern Java systems.

Actlea stands for Active Learning – the philosophy that programming is best learned by writing code, not by watching slides. My workshops focus on intensive, hands-on exercises designed to solve real-world problems.

I deliver proven training concepts globally across all timezones. While I specialize in remote delivery, I love to travel for onsite workshops. My modules are ready for immediate impact but can be tailored to your team's specific requirements.
