Error in serving jsp page in spring controller spring boot?

Question

I am relatively new to Spring and so I was just trying to render a jsp page from my spring controller. However, I keep getting a white label error page.I have tried almost every possible means to resolve the error but I cant seem to figure out what's causing this 404. Any suggestions

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

    There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
    /WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp

package com.example.TestProject;


import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@Controller
public class HomeController {


    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String hello(ModelMap model){
        model.put("message","Hello World");
        return "index";

    }
}

import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Bean
    public ViewResolver getViewResolver() {
        InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
        resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
        resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
        return resolver;
    }

    @Override

        configurer.enable();

Please check if you have right dependencies set into your build file.

Ensure that you have jasper and jstl in the list of dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
</dependency>
