Non WAR JSP spring-boot example

I've been checking out most of all spring-boot provided examples for JSP as view technologie are being packaged as WAR artifacts.

Would be nice to provide a jar example for this if possible?

I know that JSP requires a Servlet Engine/Servlet Container as opposed as e.g Freemarker .. for rendering .. but being Jetty or Tomcat Servlet Containers is this option viable and possible ?

Trying that setup so far with not much success, my last try was to create a

META-INF/resources folder to put all those jsp resources but they are still not visible to the ViewResolver

@Bean
public ViewResolver jspViewResolver() {
    InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    viewResolver.setPrefix("/META-INF/resources/jsp/");
    viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
    viewResolver.setOrder(2);
    return viewResolver;
}

At the end.. was trying some setup like here:

This is not a jar answer, but still a non WAR one :)

Put your JSP files under:

{ "src/main/webapp", "public", "static" }

The code is taken from AbstractEmbeddedServletContainerFactory. Now I find the spring-boot reference misleading (27.1.5 Static Content). It mentions several directories for static content, but says nothing about those above. But still I'm happy it's an open source world and UTSL works :)

As you can see the resources dir is not included. The JSP sample application (mentioned under 27.3.5 JSP limitations) works well, because it uses src/main/webapp for jsp file.

The root directory is chosen on a first match basis. And ServletContainerFactory anounces a debug (fine) level message mentioning .ocument root. You can look for it, whether it did locate the root directory or not.

AFAIK it's not possible (owing to limitations imposed by the containers): http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-jsp-limitations
