    <!-- JSTL for JSP -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <!-- For JSP compilation -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

Add these two dependencies in pom.xml along with spring-boot-starter-web dependency.

These two are required to compile JSP in spring boot.

Have a look at https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-jsp-limitations where you can understand some limitation support when using JSP.

You can also check this working sample to see how things are set up: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/v1.5.9.RELEASE/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-web-jsp
