I am trying to develop a new Spring boot application using MVC as a first step to move my existing Spring MVC application to Spring boot.
However, I am facing an issue with the mapping of jsp files.
Could not resolve view with name 'hello' in servlet with name 'dispatcherServlet'
I have ready many answers in SO, but none seem to solve my issue - I am not planning to use any template engines as I will have a lot of jsps to consider - might be a plan once spring boot is set up.
I have a project structure as below:
MyFirstApp
--src/main/java
--uk.co.company
--MainApplication.java
--ServletInitializer.java
--uk.co.company.web
--HelloController.java
--src/main/resources
--static
--templates
--application.properties
--src
--main
--webapp
--WEB-INF
--jsp
--hello.jsp
--pom.xml
Placing the code below:
MyFirstAppApplication.java
@SpringBootApplication(exclude = { DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class,
HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class })
@EnableWebMvc
public class MyFirstAppApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyFirstAppApplication.class, args);
}
}
ServletInitializer.java
public class ServletInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder
application) {
return application.sources(MyFirstAppApplication.class);
}
}
HelloController.java
@Controller
public class HelloController {
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public String sayHello() {
return "hello";
}
}
hello.jsp
