Spring Boot unable to find jsp files on ElasticBeanstalk AWS

Question

It works good when the application is running from Eclipse. But the problem is starting after i packaging the app to JAR or WAR and running it. Getting 404 on every pages. Here what i have done so far:

Here my POM file:

Answer 1

So to resolve the issue i have changed my elastic beanstalk from Java to Tomcat. And now it works with WAR. Using the Java i was not able to run the webapp

Answer 2

For jar packaging, the jsp files should be in src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/. For war packaging src/main/webapp/ is good. Also, I guess with war packaging, you are probably not implementing SpringBootServletInitializer with it's method configure(...) in your config main class. A complete example is here
