If we want to use jsp as view in spring boot(which by default has tomcat server) we need to add the following to our pom.xml:

        org.apache.tomcat.embed
        tomcat-embed-jasper
        provided

we need to add our pages inside

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/view

After this we can specify the location for our jsp pages in application.properties

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