How to get input values from spring boot thyme leaf to java class?
<p>I am trying to get a value from thymeleaf <code>input</code> into my java class.</p>

<p>Simple script from thymeleaf:</p>

<pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;input type="text" id="datePlanted" name="datePlanted" th:value="*{datePlanted}"/&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>How would I be able to retrieve <code>datPlanted</code> into my java class?</p>

<p>Attempted the following servlet tutorial:</p>

<pre><code>@WebServlet("/")
public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        // read form fields
        String username = request.getParameter("datePlanted");

        System.out.println("date: " + datePlanted);

        // do some processing here...
        // get response writer
        PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
        // return response
        writer.println(htmlRespone);
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>I tried to follow a tutorial but I am not sure that I should/should not be using servlets. My Application is created with Spring Boot, Java, and Thymeleaf. What am I doing wrong? I am open to other options, I am trying to understand and learn how to solve this problem.</p>
