Spring boot can not find jsp views

Question

Helo everyone! I completed my Spring based web app and then started to rebuild it to Spring boot because it gives me ability to use

Answer 1

I checkout-ed your code from github and managed to deploy into embedded Tomcat 8.0.3 and standalone Tomcat 8.0.x.

I will just go through the steps for embedded Tomcat instead of Jetty(as I have not figured out the Jetty configuration fully yet).

There are two things that you could do

1. Copy your webapps into the following location without the s, e.g. /dvdexchange-spring-boot/src/main/webapp

2. Modify slightly your pom.xml, e.g. below

3. The final outcome as below

UPDATE:

IngeniousTom,

I was not able to make it work in embedded Jetty, the furthest point I could reach after struggling to add numerous Maven Jetty jar libraries as shown below

This is actually a known issue and I do not see how this can be solved without any hackish way.

If you read in the github link, there is numerous discussion between Spring-Boot and Jetty camps.

The bottom line of the discussion is that Spring-Boot does not support yet Jsp in embedded Jetty as their standard but have plans in future.

My recommendation is not to use Jsp or use other than Jetty as your embedded container.
