Spring boot: cannot return index page instead of error page not found

I am building web application using spring boot for backend and angular2 for frontend, spring boot return whitelabel page if a none root url was accessed (because the servlet container does not know about the angular routing), so I am trying to replace the whitelabel page with the index.html page.

After reading some article about this i tried this but not working

@Component
public class CustomizationBean
 implements EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer {

@Override
public void customize(ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer container) {        
    container.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "/index.html"));
}
}

index.html is placed under src/main/resources/static

Am I missing something?

The above code works perfectly fine to display index.html page (instead of white label error), but you need to ensure that your CustomizationBean is available for scanning for the Spring container during the start up @ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.yourproject"})

As far as I know, in spring boot the scan is automatic , I have my CustomizationBean annotation with @Component.

Spring boot, by default only scans the classes under the myproject packages (where ApplicationLauncher main class resides) as explained in this doc here. The rest of the packages need to be specified in @ComponentScan
