Package a spring boot application including JSPs and static resources

Question

I want to package a spring-boot application as jar, and I do so with mvn package.

This produces a jar which does not contain any /WEB-INF/jsp

Answer 1

I had the same problem you had. I tried the answer above that you marked correct but it didn't work for me.

This worked ... change the pom.xml to ...

war

... this will causes maven to create a WAR file that is executable like so ...

java -jar yourwarfile.war

I found this solution with this similar question here ...
