My App Initializer

I even added thymeleaf
dependency to my pom. It still didn't work. When ever I hit localhost:8080/hello or /indexPage or /indexPageWithModel
it always says
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
Wed Sep 21 21:34:18 EDT 2016 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404). ]/WEB-INF/jsp/welcome.jsp
My application.properties
spring.mvc.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp
framework.welcomeMessage=Welcome to Dashboard
Please help me. Thanks!
This is one of most common error that almost all the spring boot beginners face.
Solution to this is very simple, - your Bootstrap class should know the package or the class path where it should refer in order access the component/controller. Hence you need to specify like :- @ComponentScan(basePackages= {"org.test.controller"})
P.S.- here "org.test.controller" is a qualified name of the package where I have kept my controller.
Figured it out myself.
When I converted my dynamic webproject into maven project it did not create the folder structure this way
src/main/java
and
src/main/resources
and
src/main/webapp
I manually created myself and moved the jsp files from WebContent/WEB-INF/jsp
to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp
and modified the Java build path
in the project properties.
Then I restarted the embedded tomcat
and tried it again. It worked.
