Spring Boot Controller not mapping (Whitelabel Error Page) - java

I have a Spring REST project that is redirecting all requests to error page, even if they are mapped in the controller.
I reduced the code to the smallest possible version that produces the error:
Here is the project structure:
Here is the Application class (The imports are removed to make the thread easier to read):
package com.example.demo;
#Controller
#SpringBootApplication
public class TestApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#GetMapping("/greeting")
#ResponseBody
public String greeting() {
return "greeting";
}
}
Originally I hade a sperate controller from the App class, but moved the controller code to the app class to make sure that this is not a project structure problem
Here is the controller code (Tried with and without it, and received the same error):
#Controller
#SpringBootApplication
public class TestApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#GetMapping("/hello")
#ResponseBody
public String greeting() {
return "greeting";
}
}
(Both http://localhost:8080/greeting as well as well http://localhost:8080/hello return the same error page)

(Tried with and without tomcat as dependency and nothing changed)
And lastly here is the error message I receive in the browser when I visit the links (http://localhost:8080/greeting and http://localhost:8080/hello):
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
Edit:
After setting debug to true in project.properties, here is the error message I see in console (Worth mentioning that the project ran with no issues when I tried it on another system (Same OS)):
GET "/greeting", parameters={}
Mapped to ResourceHttpRequestHandler [classpath [META-INF/resources/], classpath [resources/], classpath [static/], classpath [public/], ServletContext [/]]
Resource not found
Completed 404 NOT_FOUND
"ERROR" dispatch for GET "/error", parameters={}
(Timestamps are removed to make reading easier)

Did you tried making call to the endpoint via postman ? If so, can you try again after removing #ResponseBody annotation.

Instead of #Controller use #RestController

JSP in Spring Boot application yields 404 Error no matter what I do

I'll start off by saying I've looked at and tried the solutions in every question regarding this that I can find. The biggest problem is that most of these solutions are very old, and Spring Boot has changed a lot in the last several years. To be clear, I've tried this, this, this, this, and more. I've also read numerous tutorials. Nothing works.
I have a brand new Spring Boot application and I'm trying to get JSP rendering working with it. These are my dependencies:

My project is laid out as follows:
- source
- production
- java
- [my source code packages]
- resources
- WEB-APP
- jsp
- initialization
- begin.jsp
- [my resource packages]
- test
- java
- resources
"WEB-APP/jsp" is just the latest iteration I've tried. I've tried "WEB-INF/jsp", "META-INF/jsp", "webapp/jsp", no parent (just "jsp"), etc., all with the same results.
I know the parent directories are a bit non-standard, but it's configured correctly in Maven and I've confirmed it's not the source of my problems:
<build>
<sourceDirectory>source/production/java</sourceDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>source/production/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>
My Application class is as follows:
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages="com.my.project")
#EnableWebMvc
#EnableJpaRepositories("com.my.project.repository")
#EntityScan("com.my.project.model")
public class Application
{
private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(Application.class);
public Application()
{
}
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver()
{
LOGGER.info("Constructing InternalResourceViewResolver[JstlView]");
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-APP/jsp/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
resolver.setRedirectContextRelative(true);
resolver.setRedirectHttp10Compatible(false);
return resolver;
}
public static void main(final String[] args)
{
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
And my Controller:
#Controller
public class InitializationController
{
private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(InitializationController.class);
#GetMapping("/initialize_application")
public String beginInitialization(ModelMap model)
{
LOGGER.info("Beginning initialization");
...
LOGGER.info("Returning view");
return "initialization/begin";
}
...
}
On startup I see the "Constructing InternalResourceViewResolver" log entry (my view resolver bean is created). When I go to /initialize_application, I get the following error:
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
Sun Oct 18 21:45:26 CDT 2020
There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
Looking in the log again, I see "Beginning initialization" and "Returning view," so I know that the 404 is for my JSP and not my controller. My controller is working.
Other things I've tried:
Initially I did not have #EnableWebMvc on my application. Without it, the log was empty except my log statements. When I added #EnableWebMvc, this is now logged with the 404: No mapping for GET /WEB-APP/jsp/initialization/begin.jsp (or whatever other directory I've tried other than "WEB-APP").
I've tried running this directly on the pure command line with mvn spring-boot:run
I've tried running this in IntelliJ IDEA with a Maven run configuration and command spring-boot:run (same result)
I've tried both <packaging>jar</packaging> and <packaging>war</packaging>, but neither make a difference, because neither a JAR nor a WAR are ever made. Maven runs the application directly out of the target/classes directory instead of creating an artifact.
When I've tried WEB-INF or META-INF instead of WEB-APP or webapp or something else, I've seen a logged warning: Path with "WEB-INF" or "META-INF": [WEB-INF/jsp/initialization/begin.jsp]
I have also confirmed that my JSPs are present in target/classes/WEB-APP/jsp (or whatever other directory I've tried other than "WEB-APP"), so they do exist.
I'm at a loss how to proceed. I'm beginning to think I need to ditch Spring Boot and stick with a traditional boilerplate Spring Web MVC application with a Servlet config and a Tomcat installation, but I was really excited about the "just runs" aspect of Spring Boot. Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE 1
After reading this Spring documentation about JSP limitations, I now know that I have to use <packaging>war</packaging>, and I'm using that now, but it hasn't made a difference. I'm starting to suspect that the underlying problem here is that maven spring-boot:run doesn't create a WAR and run it, it just builds everything to target/classes and runs it from there.
Also, after finding this old, official Spring boot samples application, I've changed my project structure a little:
- source
- production
- java
- [my source code packages]
- resources
- [my resource packages]
- webapp
- META-INF
- WEB-INF
- jsp
- initialization
- begin.jsp
- test
- java
- resources
Updated my view resolver configuration:
resolver.setPrefix("/jsp/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
And added this to my POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.3.1</version>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>source/production/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If I run mvn package, my WAR gets created correctly (classes and JSPs all where they should be), but neither mvn spring-boot:run nor mvn package spring-boot:run work—I still get 404 errors resolving my JSPs.
The old Spring Boot sample application linked to above puts the JSPs in WEB-INF/jsp, but I can't do that, because that results in the warning Path with "WEB-INF" or "META-INF": [WEB-INF/jsp/initialization/begin.jsp] (and still 404). What's frustrating is that this sample application doesn't exist anymore, nor does any new variation of it. I can't find any updated version that works with the newest version of Spring Boot. The sample application was deleted in 2.2.x.
Can you try by changing the scope of tomcat-embed-jasper to provided as this dependency is needed to compile JSPs.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
<version>[9.0.38,)</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Edit:
I looked for various spring-boot + jsp projects over internet. I noticed that they have they also have spring-boot-starter-tomcat with provided scope. Can you try this.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<version>[2.3.4.RELEASE,3)</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

https://dzone.com/articles/spring-boot-2-with-jsp-view
Edit-2 :
So this time i created a new springboot project. Did bare minimum setup to get jsp rendered. So basically i followed this tutorial and my project was running fine.
Then I replaced the pom.xml with yours and the i got the same error you mentioned in the question.
Then while doing trial and error i removed the <version>[9.0.38,)</version> from <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId> and it started working for me.
<!--I have removed version here and it started working for me-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
<!-- <version>[9.0.38,)</version>-->
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Although i have different directory structure. But as you mentioned that is not the cause of issue.
I have uploaded the project to github. Feel free to pull it run it locally.

Assuming the following location for your web content (which should be outside the classpath AFAIK) source/production/webapp. Spring Boot will ignore this due to a hardcoded path in DocumentRoot for detection of directories when running from the command-line or IDE (it will work when building a war and running that).
As a workaround you can add a TomcatContextCustomizer as a bean to detect the path and set it as the correct base.
package com.my.project;
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer
{
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application)
{
return application.sources(DemoApplication.class);
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#Bean
public TomcatContextCustomizer docBaseCustomizer()
{
return new TomcatContextCustomizer()
{
public void customize(Context context)
{
File root = new File("source/production/webapp");
if (root.exists() && root.isDirectory())
{
context.setDocBase(root.getAbsolutePath());
}
}
}
}
}
Now add the following to your application.properties
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
NOTE: The removal of the other annotations can only be done if your #SpringBootApplication annotated class is in the com.my.project package. It will then automatically detect the other classes (like entities and repositories).

Spring boot MVC: RequestMapping isn't recognized in Spring boot 2.1.4

Can someone answer this silly question - How to configure Thymeleaf in Spring boot release 2.1.4?
I have declared the right dependencies:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.1.4.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
Also the config:
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan("org.mystuff.myproj")
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Init extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
And the controller looks regular:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/a")
public class IndexController {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(IndexController.class);
#PostConstruct
private void test() {
logger.info("********************************************************************");
}
#RequestMapping("/")
private String index() {
return "index2";
}
I do see that the #Controller bean gets initiated (the "*****..."), but when I try to locate in the logs the "mapped" or atleast something related, the only thing I find is:
2019-04-23 15:55:15 WARN [localhost-startStop-1] JpaBaseConfiguration$JpaWebConfiguration$JpaWebMvcConfiguration.openEntityManagerInViewInterceptor: spring.jpa.open-in-view is enabled by default. Therefore, database queries may be performed during view rendering. Explicitly configure spring.jpa.open-in-view to disable this warning
2019-04-23 15:55:16 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] WelcomePageHandlerMapping.<init>: Adding welcome page: ServletContext resource [/index.html]
And I'm failing to find an answer to the "What has changed" question.
After a while I realized that Spring Boot 2.1.4 requires TomCat 9, while I was using 8.5.
After this I started to get progress, but still the Thymeleaf isn't working, and if /templates has a index.html, the default Resolver is used, which ignores Thymeleaf's "fragments" and stuff (loads like a regular html page).

Spring Boot | localhost: 8080 404 error page displayed

I created a Spring Boot Maven project, however my RequestMapping, as well as localhost:8080 return a 404 error page. I think the issue is with how my packages are setup, but I've tried solutions in multiple questions, and I still cant get around the error page. Could you guys point me in the right direction as to how to resolve this issue? Perhaps I need to add the Component annotation above my Main class? But I've tried this solution, and the error still persists.
Here is my package structure:

When a request is sent, then a response shall be returned. In your case, you didn't send any content with the response and that's why you get 404 error (page not found).
In main.java, try:
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {
"ControllerLayer", "DataAccessLayer",
"ServiceLayer" })
Your package names shouldn't include the root path in the project.
It is advisable to have spring boot Application class in root package and have all other classes in package structure below that package .You don't have to worry about component scan as an example
package com.igt.customer;
import java.util.Arrays;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
#SpringBootApplication
public class CustomerApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(CustomerApplication.class, args);
}
#Bean
public CommandLineRunner commandLineRunner(ApplicationContext ctx) {
return args -> {
System.out.println("Let's inspect the beans provided by Spring Boot:");
String[] beanNames = ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames();
Arrays.sort(beanNames);
for (String beanName : beanNames) {
System.out.println(beanName);
}
};
}
}
Controller class
package com.igt.customer.controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
#RestController
public class EmployeeController {
#RequestMapping("/employee")
public String employee() {
return "Greetings from Sam!";
}
}
running the application (go to the directory of your application on cmd )
E:\MongoDb\New folder\customer>mvn install -U -e
you should see this in the end if its fine

run the jar file
E:\MongoDb\New folder\customer\target>java -jar customer-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
accessing the application
http://localhost:8080/employee
Notice application name is not required in URL
P.S i have written extra detail here as i have experienced if you are new to spring boot building and running the application is a challenge , in my application i had created a rest controller in the same package as the Application class with RequestMapping "/" as i was getting 404 error , Please see the link below as a reference
spring boot application
This issue will be simply solved if you remove the main package of the main.java class.
The new structure will be:
/src/main/java
Main.java
ControllerLayer
UsersController.java
DataAccessLayer
UsersDAL.java
ServiceLayer
UsersService.java
In my Spring boot application, there is no need to scan the base packages manually because all the configurations are embedded in a single annotation #SpringBootApplication. Please refer to this link.
I don't understand how the base packages are initially configured. Can someone please explain this?
For example, if your base package looks like:
com.example.myapp.SpringApplication
... it means your application takes base packages as com.example.myapp. So if you can create all Controllers, Service, Repository under com.example.myapp in the sense it will load your Controllers, Service, Repository easily or else it can't able to load. This is because springbootapplication intially sets the base packages and loads whatever java classes are inside the base package. So because of this you get a 404 error in the browser as well as in postman. So try to match with base package.

Important: Looks like this issue is not present in most recent versions of Spring Boot. However the content of this answer can still be used as a guide when you want to create an application with Spring Boot and Jersey.
The layout of the JAR has changed in Spring Boot 1.4.1
The layout of executable jars has changed in Spring Boot 1.4.1: application’s dependencies are now packaged in BOOT-INF/lib rather than lib, and application’s own classes are now packaged in BOOT-INF/classes rather than the root of the jar. And it affects Jersey:
Jersey classpath scanning limitations
The change to the layout of executable jars means that a limitation in Jersey’s classpath scanning now affects executable jar files as well as executable war files. To work around the problem, classes that you wish to be scanned by Jersey should be packaged in a jar and included as a dependency in BOOT-INF/lib. The Spring Boot launcher should then be configured to unpack those jars on start up so that Jersey can scan their contents.
I've found that registering classes instead of packages works. See below the steps to create an application with Spring Boot and Jersey.
Creating a web application with Spring Boot and Jersey
Ensure your pom.xml file declares spring-boot-starter-parent as the parent project:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.4.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
You also need the following dependencies:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jersey</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
And the Spring Boot Maven plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
For example purposes, create a Jersey resource class annotated with #Path and define a resource method to handle GET requests, producing text/plain:
#Path("/greetings")
public class GreetingResource {
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public Response getGreeting() {
return Response.ok("Hello, World!").build();
}
}
Then create a class that extends ResourceConfig or Application to register the Jersey resources and annotated it with #ApplicationPath. Registering classes instead of registering packages works with Spring Boot 1.4.1:
#Component
#ApplicationPath("api")
public class JerseyConfig extends ResourceConfig {
#PostConstruct
private void init() {
registerClasses(GreetingResource.class);
}
}
And finally create a Spring Boot class to execute the application:
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
If you want to test this web service, you can use the JAX-RS Client API:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
public class GreetingResourceTest {
#LocalServerPort
private int port;
private URI uri;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
this.uri = new URI("http://localhost:" + port);
}
#Test
public void testGreeting() {
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
Response response = client.target(uri).path("api").path("greetings")
.request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get();
String entity = response.readEntity(String.class);
assertEquals("Hello, World!", entity);
}
}
To compile and run the application, follow these steps:
Open a command line window or terminal.
Navigate to the root directory of the project, where the pom.xml resides.
Compile the project: mvn clean compile.
Package the application: mvn package.
Look in the target directory. You should see a file with the following or a similar name: spring-jersey-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Change into the target directory.
Execute the JAR: java -jar spring-jersey-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
The application should be available at http://localhost:8080/api/greetings.
Note 1: Have a look at the Spring Boot documentation. There's a section dedicated to Jersey.
Note 2: When producing JSON, ensure you have a JSON provider registered. ResourceConfig should take care of that though (just ensure that the dependencies are on the classpath).
Although Jersey cannot scan your classes inside the new version of the fat boot jar, you can achieve the same effect using Spring classpath scanning facilities. This way you can scan a package similarly to ResourceConfig.packages():
ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider scanner = new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(false);
scanner.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(Provider.class));
scanner.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(Path.class));
config.registerClasses(scanner.findCandidateComponents("your.package.to.scan").stream()
.map(beanDefinition -> ClassUtils.resolveClassName(beanDefinition.getBeanClassName(), config.getClassLoader()))
.collect(Collectors.toSet()));
Note: please have a look at the source of org.glassfish.jersey.server.internal.scanning.AnnotationAcceptingListener. This is the stock solution and you can see that it does the same: it scans for classes annotated with #Path or #Provider (but doesn't manage to find anything because of the broken scanning mechanism).
Update:
I had a custom config which didn't extend ResourceConfig but returned an instance of it as a bean.
If you look at the official Spring example, you can insert the code above into the JerseyConfig() constructor (instead of the two register(...) calls). The only difference is that instead of calling config.registerClasses(...) you simply call registerClasses(...) in the constructor.
I think you should annotate your JerseyConfig with #Configuration and not #Component.

Spring Boot web application doesn't serve standard endpoints

I have a problem with a Spring Boot Application that is supposed to run from command line and at the same time serve some metrics from the standard /metrics endpoint. When I just created the application all the metrics were served correctly, but at some point I seem to have "broken" something and my application stopped serving from default endpoints. I can't just revert to the initial state because there's a lot of code already and I don't want to lose version control history. Maybe someone could point at what I am doing wrong?
I don't override dispatcher servlet and don't add any custom filters.
Spring Boot version 1.3.7.
Error when accessing /metrics or any other default endpoint:
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing
this as a fallback.
Mon Oct 03 17:53:12 PDT 2016 There was an unexpected error (type=Not

Debug output shows that the filters are created:
2016-10-03 17:26:14.461 DEBUG 85880 --- [ost-startStop-1] o.s.b.c.e.ServletContextInitializerBeans : Added existing Servlet initializer bean 'dispatcherServletRegistration'; order=2147483647, resource=class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration$DispatcherServletConfiguration.class]

I created a sample clean application to compare and there are lines in output that I don't have in my app:
2016-10-03 18:06:48.075 DEBUG 86858 --- [ main] o.s.b.a.e.mvc.EndpointHandlerMapping : 2 request handler methods found on class org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.MetricsMvcEndpoint: {public java.lang.Object org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.MetricsMvcEndpoint.value(java.lang.String)={[/{name:.*}],methods=[GET],produces=[application/json]}, public java.lang.Object org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.EndpointMvcAdapter.invoke()={[],methods=[GET],produces=[application/json]}}

So, the filters/servlet seem to be created but not mapped in my app.
What am I possibly missing here?
OK I was stupid. Could say it twice.
So, after all, the problem was my bad memory. I actually was overriding application properties like this:
management.contextPath=/services/admin
Guess what, my /metrics was there all the time. It was just under /services/admin/metrics, which I completely forgot to have overridden. Duh.
