thymeleaf absolute URL with variable

I am trying to inject a domain url into a link using Thymeleaf. My url is being passed from the controller because i put logging and saw it.

my link is as such in my Thymeleaf html template:

<link type="text/css" th:href="@{${DomainUrl}/web/assets/css/foundation5/foundation.min.css}" rel="stylesheet" />

however, when I run it locally it doesn't replace the domain, for example, throws an error (because the URL is not found of course) render as such: http://localhost:8081/pss/ui/$%7BDomainUrl%7D/web/assets/css/components.css

I found the solution for it. I had to make the link into literal as such:

<link type="text/css" th:href="@{|${DomainUrl}/web/assets/css/foundation5/normalize.css|}" rel="stylesheet" />

Ok so in order for this to work you must use preprocess operator __expression__ to get propert link so you will end up with somethink like this

<link type="text/css" th:href="@{__${DomainUrl}__/web/assets/css/foundation5/foundation.min.css}" rel="stylesheet" />

this will preprocess and resolve ${DomainUrl} expression, and will pass resulting string to to @ expression processor. Tested and work like charm:

<a th:href="@{__${currentUrl}__/blah/blah/blahhhh}">hey there</a>

generates 

<a href="http://localhost:8080/admin/place/list/blah/blah/blahhhh">hey there</a>

where http://localhost:8080/admin/place/list/ is currentUrl

Try

<link type="text/css" th:href="@{${DomainUrl + '/web/assets/css/foundation5/foundation.min.css'}}" rel="stylesheet" />

Does ${DomainUrl} start with http:// or https://? That makes a difference when creating a link with @{} expressions.
