Maven Spring Boot multi modules

I am trying to configure Maven to use Spring Boot with multi modules. I am new to Maven and Spring Boot Stuff and I am not sure how this works together. So I started to create a simple Structure. At the beginning I want to start with one Module.

myApp
|
|--web module
|----java
|------controller
|------Application.java (Main Methode)
|----resources
|------templates
|--------index.html
|------application.propperties
|------log4j2.json
|----webapp
|----pom.xml
|--pom.xml

Here is my parent pom.xml :

To my application.propperties I add

spring.view.prefix = /templates/
spring.view.suffix = .html

And my Application.java looks like this:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hallo");
        SpringApplication.run(SaplicationApplication.class, args);
    }
}

My Controller

@Controller
public class MainController {

    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MainController.class.getName());

    @RequestMapping("/test")
    public String index(ModelAndView modelAndView) {
        logger.info("/test");
        logger.debug("Hello world - debug log");
        logger.info("Hello world - info log");
        logger.warn("Hello world - warn log");
        logger.error("Hello world - error log");
        return "index";
    }

}

When I start the application the mapping is working

Mapped "{[/test]}" onto public java.lang.String saplication.controller.MainController.index(org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView)

And the log messages are shown

[INFO ] 2015-10-06 08:41:37.477 [http-nio-8080-exec-1] MainController - /test
[INFO ] 2015-10-06 08:41:37.478 [http-nio-8080-exec-1] MainController - Hello world - info log
[WARN ] 2015-10-06 08:41:37.478 [http-nio-8080-exec-1] MainController - Hello world - warn log
[ERROR] 2015-10-06 08:41:37.478 [http-nio-8080-exec-1] MainController - Hello world - error log

But when I type http://localhost:8080/test i just see the message

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Tue Oct 06 08:41:37 CEST 2015
There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
No message available

On the first view it seems that everything works well but the problem witch I have is that Spring does not find my index.html Template.

I readlly don't know what is wrong in my config ! So I need your help.

Solution: change your IDE's working DIR to your module, because spring-boot embed tomcat use top-level path plus yours define to route web root.

Make these changes to your Application.java

    @SpringBootApplication
    public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

        @Override
        protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
            return application.sources(Application.class);
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
        }

    }

SpringBootServletInitializer

This is required to run the web application. This will enable the servlet container and bind your application to the servlet container.

Update :-

To run your main module(web module), you have to goto on that directory and after that run your project using mvn spring-boot:run command.

Example:- 1. [me@linuxbox myApp] $ cd /web 2. [me@linuxbox web] $ mvn spring-boot:run

Put your resources in the folder src/main/resources within the web module. This is the default Maven structure for resources.
