Issue
I have an extremely simple Spring-Boot MVC application here that is not working. One Controller with one page not loading and receiving a 404 not found.
I put a System.out.println("Home Page") statement in the controller method and validated that it is mapped and getting fired correctly but the template isn't loading.
The error:
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
The folder structure:
src/main/java
+-Application.java
+-WebController.java
src/main/resources
+-templates
+-index.html
Abbreviated console output:
Server initialized with port: 8080

Solution
It looks like you don't have Thymeleaf on your class path.
Add this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>
and everything should work then.
If you're still facing some issues I recommend creating new project with http://start.spring.io/
