I'm currently trying to learn Spring Boot (1.0.0 snapshot) in my spare time. I try to use spring-boot-starter-web for building a sample website but had problems when I try to use jsp for the view part of my mvc. Everything was in place.
And yet it was not working. Nothing on logs too, even on debug level.
After some search and several trial/errors, I saw that it is impossible to use embedded tomcat for displaying jsps without adding several dependencies to my main pom. Next to the standard spring-boot-starter-web dependency, I had to add jasper and jstl dependencies as well. So long for leaving dependencies to starter templates.
- I had a jsp named "welcome-page.jsp" under "src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/"
- In my controller I was sending the user to "welcome-page".
- The path configuration was done under application.properties with
- spring.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
- spring.view.suffix: .jsp
And yet it was not working. Nothing on logs too, even on debug level.

org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-web org.apache.tomcat.embed tomcat-embed-jasper provided javax.servlet jstl
