'I'm trying to add a jsp page in my Spring Boot Aplication. 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 26 16:10:15 IRDT 2022 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404). JSP file [/WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp] not found

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
@RequestMapping("/")
public class HomeController {
@GetMapping("/")
public String index(){
    return "home";
}
}

and i have 1 warning in controller class :

Cannot resolve MVC view 'home'

my project folders picture

My Application class:

@SpringBootApplication
public class OnlineShopApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(OnlineShopApplication.class, args);
}}

And the home.jsp:

<h1> hello world from jsp</h1>

Solution 1:[1]

When I opened the project, I opened the folder that contained the project, which was one roll higher than the main project folder.

Seems you are missing the template named home. You need to create this template and store it under \src\main\resources\templates The template is a html file to which you are returning your response from spring to. It should be something like this:

project-directory
->src
    ->main
        ->java->com->...etc
        ->resources
            ->static
            ->templates
                home.html
                other_file.html
            application.properties
      
    ->test

Also stop using specific versions. Use this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

Also rollback to TomCat 9 as 10 is not supported.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
    <version>9.0.19</version>
</dependency>

You can get these dependencies from The MVN Repository

Change the following:

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

to:

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