My App Initializer
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan({ "com.spring.controller" })
@PropertySources(value = { @PropertySource("classpath:/application.properties") })
public class BootLoader extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(BootLoader.class);
@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(BootLoader.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(BootLoader.class, args);
}
}
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!
