Multiple index.html in spring boot

I have simple spring boot application with two html inside my webapp. enter image description here

In my controller i have written mapping like:

@Controller
public class HtmlController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index() {
    return "index";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/anotherIndex", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String anotherIndex() {
    return "anotherIndex";
}
}

Also i have properties:

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

When i pass in browser localhost:8080/ - i get my index.html page But when i pass localhost:8080/anotherIndex i have exception:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Circular view path [/anotherIndex.html]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/anotherIndex.html] again. Check your ViewResolver setup! (Hint: This may be the result of an unspecified view, due to default view name generation.)

The main problem its you are not using the folder structure defined for a web application in Spring Boot.

You should have

src
   main
       resources
                templates
                         index.html
                         anotherIndex.html
                         anotherFolder
                             index.html
                         ...

Then from your Controller use (You have it right)

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index() {
    return "index";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/anotherIndex", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String anotherIndex() {
    return "anotherIndex";
}
