Issue
When I go to http://localhost:8080/ for my spring boot form it just gives me a whitelabel error page. This is my Controller code
package net.codejava;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class MvcController {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
System.out.println("Going home...");
return "index";
}
}
and here's my index.jsp code
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Volunteer Management Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Volunteer Management Form</h1>
</body>
</html>
I cannot work out why it won't show I do however get "Going home..." printed in the console
Solution
i think that you have problem with the view resolver add this to your application.properties:
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
and move your index.jsp to /WEB-INF/jsp/
the second method is to set resolver by using WebConfig class like that : add this class to your source package :
@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("net.codejava")
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Bean
public ViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver bean = new
InternalResourceViewResolver();
bean.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
bean.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/view/");
bean.setSuffix(".jsp");
return bean;
}
}
