Thymeleaf: use the same template with dynamic url from different controllers

I have two html templates which do same function, but handled by two different controllers:

1st html handled by moderator controller

<form th:action="@{/moderator/new-user-form}" th:object="${caltest}" method="post"
     enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-validate form row">
    <!-- some code -->
</form>

2nd html handled by admin controller

<form th:action="@{/admin/new-user-form}" th:object="${caltest}" method="post"
     enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-validate form row">
    <!-- some code -->
</form>

As you can see these templates differ only by action url:

th:action="@{/someurl}"

Is it possible to use the same template with dynamic url from different controllers?

There are many different ways to do this... the simplest, is to use the same template in the controllers, and in each controller pass a variable that contains the correct action.

For example:

// Moderator controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/moderator")
public String moderator(Map<String, Object> model) {
  model.put("action", "/moderator/new-user-form");
  return "new-user-form";
}

// Admin controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/moderator")
public String moderator(Map<String, Object> model) {
  model.put("action", "/admin/new-user-form");
  return "new-user-form";
}

And in the html

<form th:action="@{${action}}">

If that isn't suitable, you could turn the form itself into a fragment, and then pass the action as a parameter. Something like this:

<!-- Fragment -->
<form th:fragment="userform (action)" th:action="@{${action}}">
  .
  .
  .
</form>

<!-- Including the fragment -->
<div th:replace="fragments/userform :: userform(action='/admin/new-user-form')" />
<!-- or -->
<div th:replace="fragments/userform :: userform(action='/moderator/new-user-form')" />
