I'm trying to create a new project with spring boot.
But I'm getting Error described below. I have added my code.
Error

login.jsp contains just hello
LoginController.class
#Controller
public class LoginController {
#RequestMapping(value = {"/","/login"},method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView getLoginPage(){
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
modelAndView.setViewName("login");
return modelAndView;
}
}

#SpringBootApplication
public class WcApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(WcApplication.class, args);

}
Why I'm getting this and how to solve this problem? Thanks

I think you have missed out ViewResolver configuration class.
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter
{
#Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
registry.viewResolver(resolver);
}
}
Try above configuration and it should call login.jsp page.
Update
As you have correctly added resolver in application.properties. I figured that the problem is with folder WEB-INF. This folder is secured from outer access and .jsp files should not be inside of this folder. It is for files like web.xml which should not be exposed to client.
Just rename it to view (or something else) and change application.properties as -
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/view/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
This should definitely work.

In my case I had everything correctly setup in spring boot. The jsps were in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp
and index.html the welcome page in src/main/resources/static/index.html. Still howevere hard I tried the jsp pages were not getting rendered. I always got 404 return.
But when I changed the build process to create a war field instead of the jar file it worked fine.
Just made additional line change in the build.gradle file as below
apply plugin: "war"
and after that while ruuing the war as java -jar demo.war everything fell in place and started working.

I just had this same issue occur. Project structure was correct and everything looked good. I made a slight change to my application.properties spring.mvc.view.prefix. I changed "/WEB-INF/jsp/" to "WEB-INF/jsp/" and everything works correctly. I think in the generate target and war it is the root directory so the additional / as a prefix was confusing something

Its a hierarchy problem, the WEB-INF should be under webapp folder.
yourMainPackage/src/main/webapp/WEB_INF
(note that for it to work with springboot default configuration, webapp/ should be under main/ and not under resources)

I faced the same issue and it took me long time to figure out that there are three conditions.
1.) In application properties you need to have the following view resolver mapping
(You can use java based as well):
logging.level.web=DEBUG
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/pages/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
Note: you have to create "WEB-INF" folder by yourself as in my case "webapp"
folder was empty. DEBUG property is not necessary just keep it as it will
help you find the root cause from logs.
2.) I had to make the packaging as "war" instead of jar.
<packaging>war</packaging>
3.) Make sure you have added tomcat jasper dependency to compile the jsp pages at
runtime.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
</dependency>
Hope it helps and feel free to correct me.

EnableConfigServer is not working for native location in spring boot

I am trying to configure a configuration server for all the properties in our application using #EnableConfigServer in spring boot. Please see the code below :
#EnableConfigServer

SpringApplication.run(ConfigServerApplication.class, args);

But when I try to access url at http://localhost:9090/config-server/default I am not seeing any property files and getting the following response:
{"name":"config-server","profiles":["default"],"label":null,"version":null,"state":null,"propertySources":[]}
Add dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency>
Correct value should be spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations=file:///Users/Sankest/StarterProjects/MicroServices/AllConfigurations/ with 3 front slashes after file:. One way to verify whether path is correct or not, even without running the application, is to paste the path in browser and check whether it shows all the files.
For default profile make sure either file name is application.yml or application.properties.
For other profiles e.g. dev, file name should be application-dev.yml or application-dev.properties (if all are in the same folder), then http://localhost:9090/config-server/dev would show both dev and default profile entries.
I don't think so you are accessing the correct endpoint.
For example :
If you are having three files in your AllConfigurations folder.
The file can be yml or properties.
application-dev.yml
application-test.yml
application-prod.yml
The name in the left side of the - is application name and name in right side is profile.
So the endpoint for application-dev.yml will be
 http://localhost:9090/application/dev
From the client to access the specific profile file in the config-server you need to set the active profile.
If you client application name is test
spring.profile.active=dev
Then it will return test-dev file to your client from config server.

Spring boot blank page response on browser

I have a web application using maven & spring boot with a war deployment.
While it works normally on a windows machine (starting it using netbeans), I get a blank page response from browser when I run it on a linux machine (not sure if this is relevant). No errors occur on startup.
After searching a while I found that it is related with some 404 error response of spring boot. This happens for any route that I try (valid or not)
Another clue is that I tried to redirect 404 errors to a test.jsp but nothing changed in the browsers (I still get this blank page). With postman I get this .jsp as a response.
In any case it's not normal to get an error response since the routes are correct.
Here is my pom.xml

Any ideas?
EDIT
I add some extra info that might help:
No MVC-relevant configuration is included in application.properties
Application.java (I'm not using #EnableWebMvc):
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableScheduling
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
}
Web MVC Configuration is done by:
#Configuration
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Bean
public ViewResolver getPageViewResolver(){
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/pages/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
resolver.setOrder(1);
return resolver;
}
}
After some tries I conclude that:
mvn spring-boot:run
java -classpath "lib/*:classes/." org.app.Application
java -jar webapp-1.0.RELEASE.war
start the app as a normal application which leads to this problem. No matter if pom packing is defined as jar or war (If I'm wrong someone pls correct me)
Netbeans was deploying the app into an external tomcat server. I finally tried the classic war deployment way in order to make it work.
This answer is not solving the original question but provides a fix in case someone else has the same problem.

H2-In memory database console not opening

I am using the H2 database in a Spring boot application. But unable to open it in the browser at http://localhost:8080/console. My pom.xml is as below:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.4.192</version>
</dependency>
Spring boot Configuration :
Springboot configuration file
#Configuration
public class WebConfiguration {
#Bean
ServletRegistrationBean h2servletRegistration(){
ServletRegistrationBean registrationBean = new ServletRegistrationBean( new WebServlet());
registrationBean.addUrlMappings("/console/*");
return registrationBean;
}
}
to use the H2 console you need to configure it in your .properties file
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
spring.h2.console.path=/h2console/
where /h2console/ is the path you want to use on the browser so you can change it to anything. Also if you have security enabled you might want to add it to the permitted paths
also add this to your HttpSecurity configuration http.headers().frameOptions().disable();
Edit
change your security configuration i'm pretty sure you might have spring security in your pom so use this instead, if not it should work
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
#Configuration
public class WebConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
httpSecurity.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll().and()
.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/console/**").permitAll();
httpSecurity.csrf().disable();
httpSecurity.headers().frameOptions().disable();
}
}
If have included spring-boot-starter-security artifact in your pom then by default basic authentication is enabled. Hence, to access your console either you disable the basic authentication by adding security.basic.enabled=false in your application.properties or allow the access in your configure method as below:
#Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity httpSecurity) throws Exception {
httpSecurity.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll().and().authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/console/**").permitAll();
httpSecurity.headers().frameOptions().disable();
}
}
Thank you all for your generous help.The application class (Springboot) was in a separate package and it was not scanning other packages.Also I modified my Pom.xml a bit which finally helped me to access the console.Attached is my new Pom.xml.

go the POM file and add the dependency :

rebuild your project
this might help folks , all the configuration above is correct
Note - if you are not using any security then adding spring security is not required
Actualy problem is - when you open this url in chrome
http://localhost:8080/h2 chrome makes it --> https://localhost:8080/h2
To get rid of this issue - Below reference will help -
Google Chrome redirecting localhost to https
You might have face 2 situation including following errors:
localhost refused to connect
Double check the URL. Chrome automatically try to change http:// to https://
Check spring.h2.console.path (Path at witch the console avilible) to get your URL:
Default: /h2-console --> URL: http://localhost:8080/h2-console/
If you running IDE (e.g. IntelliJ Idea), make sure your app is running witch means your H2 data base is running!
You face 404 Error:
In this case your H2 Data base is correctly running on Port 8080 and you already have the connection with it.
Check spring.h2.console.path (Path at witch the console avilible) to get your URL:
Default: /h2-console --> URL: http://localhost:8080/h2-console/
Enable H2 Console
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
The issue might be also be caused by adding server.servlet.context-path to properties. The new url will be composed of server.servlet.context-path plus spring.h2.console.path
If you have renamed the h2 path in the application.properties to "console" you've to add it in your antMatcher like .antMatcher("/console/**") with two asterisks after the "console" because there are much more appendings.
If none of the above solution works, try below one, this worked for me :
Add below property in your application.propertiesfollowing
spring.data.jpa.repositories.bootstrap-mode=default
Open console in browser using this URL : http://localhost:8080/h2-console
On a login page make sure that you use jdbc:h2:mem:testdb as JDBC URL.
As h2 database console is mapped to "h2-console".
Use this:
http.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/h2-console/**").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated();
// disable frame options
http.headers().frameOptions().disable();
`
You don't need permit root access:
.antMatchers("/") * NOT NEEDED *

Spring Boot App works on local Tomcat but not on remote server

There are a lot of moving parts to this project, but I'll try to be brief and objective.
Basically, I have a Spring Boot application that compiles and runs fine on Netbeans with Tomcat 7.0.63. I also runs without issues when I drag and drop the .war file generated on Netbeans, directly to the webapps/ folder on on the Tomcat directory.
However, when I try to deploy that same .war file to Tomcat 7.0.63 running on a remote server, all I get is the Tomcat 404 Error page.
No errors are generated on Catalina.out and the application is deployed successfully, but it seems to just point to the root application folder instead of loading the Spring DispatcherServlet. The reason I say this is because if I add a sample index.html to the root folder, it will render instead of the 404 error.
Here is my SpringBootServletInitializer:
#ComponentScan
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#SpringBootApplication
public class RecruitingDashboardApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(RecruitingDashboardApplication.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(RecruitingDashboardApplication.class, args);
}
}
And here is my WebMvcConfigurerAdapter:
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#Configuration
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
ClassLoaderTemplateResolver templateResolver = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
templateResolver.setPrefix("templates/");
templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
SpringTemplateEngine engine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
engine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver);
ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(engine);
return viewResolver;
}
#Override
public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("dashboard");
registry.addViewController("/login").setViewName("login");
}
}
It's also worth noting that I don't have a web.xml. Everything is either auto configured by Spring Boot or Java configured through the above files.
Finally, since I know this will come up on the comments, here is my pom.xml file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Maybe a bit late, but somebody else might stumble upon this problem like i did myself.
Deploying on local tomcat worked fine for me, but when deploying on remote tomcat on ubuntu i got the Tomcat 404 Error page aswell.
I also tried deploying with
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
but without the tomcat version (i was using Apache Tomcat/7.0.52. for the reference).
After deploying with properties:
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<start-class>controllers.Application</start-class>
</properties>
it worked like it should.
Deploying with
<java.version>1.7</java.version>
worked aswell.

Here are the errors I am dealing with
And in the terminal I see this
Looking up handler method for path /css/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css
Did not find handler method for [/css/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css]
Request method 'GET' not supported
What does this mean?
I have a correct structure and doing it by the convention
But no luck what so ever. I tried changing to public/ and tried using webjars. All in vain. What are the norms for this and how do I get this set up so it wont be breaking! Thanks!
EDIT:: Configuration Files
Here is my application file that is provided with the spring boot
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityAutoConfiguration.class,
org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.ManagementSecurityAutoConfiguration.class})
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {"webapp"})
#EnableJpaRepositories
public class SpringDemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(SpringDemoApplication.class, args);
}
}
And I have a WebConfig file which is mostly empty, but I tried adding the #Overide on addResourceHandlers, with no improvements
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {"webapp"})
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/resources/static/").setCachePeriod(31556926);
}
}
EDIT
After further examining the application, I have found this
It says that the request it allows is PUT, but why? From what I can understand is that something is blocking my request to the resource files, is that right?
Desperate to get this fixed, it's really bothering to configure Spring, even with Spring Boot!
Found a problem that I was facing with not being able to access static resources.
For those who experience the same:
This behaviour (405 error) signifies that something is blocking the path to your static resources. This doesn't have to be /static or /public. It wont do anything.
In my case the problem was that a controller was blocking the /css path. To fix this a #RequestMapping(value = "/Somepath") annotation on the class lvl is needed to release the path for the static resources.
This worked for me and now I can access my static resources without any issues.
This can be a very annoying problem and someone can spend hours and days trying to figure this out. Hope this helps others to save their time
If there are alternative or other methods of preventing this behaviour that please mention in the comments
If you are trying to configure resource mapping through configuration class as you mentioned in comment, then it should be like this:
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {"org.company.yourpackage"})
#Configuration
public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/resources/static/").setCachePeriod(31556926);
}
}
this post also may help.
I was having the exact same issue, What helped me was adding:
enter code here
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
OR
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/js/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
from this post
servlet for serving static content here
