You don’t need a full Spring framework application to take advantage of Spring’s dialect of Thymeleaf. But you may need to make some non-trivial configuration changes to your application, depending on how it integrates with Thymeleaf (and its standard dialect).

Another Windows command I always have to look up every time I need to use it.

I wanted to set up a “maintenance mode” for a web application built on Javalin. That is, when the site is in maintenance mode, all normal routes are ignored (and the user sees a single “in maintenance” page), unless that user logs in as a site administrator.

MySQL on Linux - Unable to update packages for version 8.0.28 and later, due to incorrect GPG key.

Handling a deprecation warning when upgrading Thymeleaf from 3.0 to 3.1.

Toggling long content in each cell of a DataTable

Passing Java functions around using variables. Some example code, with notes. And a reminder that just because you can pass functions around in this way, doesn’t mean you always should.

Three ways (and one legacy way) to customize data being exported from DataTables to targets such as Excel, PDF, CSV, etc.

A closer look at what it means to convert between different character encodings in Java. Along the way, this includes a review of char, byte and int primitives, and some ways to handle hexadecimal values stored in strings.

There are a few tutorials on how to run a web application using embedded Tomcat. They are all informative, and none of them work.
