Spring Boot JSP 404


I'm trying to add a jsp page in my Spring Boot service. My problem is that every time I try to go to that page I have this:

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Tue Apr 21 23:16:00 EEST 2015 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404). No message available

I have added the prefix and sufix into my application.properties:

spring.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.view.suffix: .jsp

This is my controller class:

@Controller
public class MarkerController {
    @RequestMapping(value="/map")
    public String trafficSpy() {
        return "index";
    }
}

My Application class:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
    private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Application.class.getName());

    public static void main(String[] args) {
            logger.info("SPRING VERSION: " + SpringVersion.getVersion());
            SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
        }
}

And the index.jsp:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<html lang="en">

<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!!!</h1>


    <p>JSTL URL: ${url}</p>
</body>

</html>

And this is the src file structure:

├── src
│   ├── main
│   │   ├── java
│   │   │   └── com
│   │   │       └── example
│   │   │           └── internetprogramming

Solution

  • Ensure that you have jasper and jstl in the list of dependencies:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
            <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        </dependency>
