Issue
I am trying to map index1.jsp from controller.
Here is my controller method code:
@GetMapping({"/", "/hello"})
public String hello(Model model, @RequestParam(value="name", required=false, defaultValue="World") String name) {
model.addAttribute("name", name);
return "index1";
}
This is WebConfiguration:
@Configuration
public class WebConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Bean
public UrlBasedViewResolver viewResolver() {
UrlBasedViewResolver resolver
= new UrlBasedViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
return resolver;
}
}
This is index.jsp
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Quiz</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Hello ${name}!</h2>
</body>
</html>
This is application.properties:
spring.application.name=quiz
server.port=8090
server.error.whitelabel.enabled=false
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
This is pom.xml:

I am getting error: HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error
This is from console:
org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template [index1], template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
...
org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template [index1], template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
I think it look up at templates folder, and not in WEB-INF/jsp. If I try to map html file from templates it works. But with JSP makes problem.
Here it is a structure of application:

Solution
There are following steps you need to follow if you want to work with Spring boot + JSP instead of thymeleaf.
- Remove thymeleaf dependency from pom.xml
- Add below dependencies in pom.xml (Jasper to compile JSPs)
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Need this to compile JSP -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
