{
ModelAndView respondResult = new ModelAndView();
try {
List<EntSetCharges> entSetChargesList = new ArrayList<>();
for(EntSetCharges ent : tempEntSetChargesList.getTempEntSetChargesList())
{ //logics goes here
in HTML
<form id="setchargesformid" method="post" th:object="${tempEntSetChargesList}" th:action="@{/updatesetcharges}">
Wrapper class
public class WrpSetCharges {
private List<EntSetCharges> tempEntSetChargesList = new ArrayList<>();
public List<EntSetCharges> getTempEntSetChargesList() {
return tempEntSetChargesList;
}
public void setTempEntSetChargesList(List<EntSetCharges> tempEntSetChargesList) {
this.tempEntSetChargesList = tempEntSetChargesList;
}
}

Put your list in a wrapper class and use that class as your ModelAttributes
class ListWrapper{
List<EntSetCharges> tempEntSetChargesList;
public List<EntSetCharges> getTempEntSetChargesList() {
return tempEntSetChargesList;
}
public void setTempEntSetChargesList(List<EntSetCharges> tempEntSetChargesList) {
this.tempEntSetChargesList = tempEntSetChargesList;
}
}
and search here on how to bind list of objects in thymeleaf.
ex. how-to-bind-an-object-list-with-thymeleaf
below example of binding items in your list.
<tbody>
<tr th:each="currentClient, stat : *{clientList}">
<td>
<input type="checkbox" th:field="*{clientList[__${stat.index}__].selected}" />
<input type="hidden" th:field="*{clientList[__${stat.index}__].clientID}" />
<input type="hidden" th:field="*{clientList[__${stat.index}__].ipAddress}" />
<input type="hidden" th:field="*{clientList[__${stat.index}__].description}" />
</td>
<td th:text="${currentClient.getClientID()}"></td>
<td th:text="${currentClient.getIpAddress()}"></td>
<td th:text="${currentClient.getDescription()}"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
Spring will call the default no args constructor of your ModelAttributes class, in your case your using List interface with no constructor. and Its not good idea using List or any of its implementation as direct request model.

In my case, I use @RequestBody to mapping the input to my model. So it would be
@PostMapping(value="/updatesetcharges")
public ModelAndView doUpdateSetCharges(@RequestBody List<EntSetCharges> tempEntSetChargesList){
// your code
}
