Hey i have a problem with viewing a jsp file in a simple spring boot app.
Here are my project files:

HomeController.java
package com.sample;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@RequestMapping("/home")
public String home(){
return "home";
}
}
home.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<h1>Title</h1>
</head>
<body>
<h2>text</h2>
</body>
</html>
application.properties
spring.mvc.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp
I figured out that it may be something with file structure or prefix path in application.properties, still haven't found an answer though.
From Spring boot Documentation:
JSPs should be avoided if possible, there are several known limitations when using them with embedded servlet containers.
