My Spring MVC Controller

Answer 1

For Spring Boot beginners, I had a similar issue. My jQuery code was working fine within < script > tags at the bottom of my html doc (a thymeleaf template), but when I put the exact same code into an external .js doc in the static/js folder, it no longer responded. Super simple fix - just needed to put all that .js doc code inside this: $(document).ready(function () { ...code ... }); and then it worked fine. Hope this helps someone.
