WebApplicationInitializer not working after upgrading spring-boot-starter-parent

My code used to works well before I upgraded spring-boot-starter-parent from 1.0.2.RELEASE to 2.1.0.RELEASE.

When the version of spring-boot-starter-parent is 1.0.2.RELEASE, I could deploy this project to tomcat, run tomcat, and when I type localhost:8080/greeting.html on my browser I could see 'Hello World".

But after I upgrade the version to 2.1.0.RELEASE and do the same thing, I just got a 404 not found error.

QUESTION: How can I fix this problem with version 2.1.0.RELEASE of spring-boot-starter-parent?

Here is my code snippet and the pom file:

pom.xml:

WebConfig:

package com.pluralsight;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.pluralsight")
public class WebConfig {
}

WebAppInitializer:

package com.pluralsight;

import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletRegistration;

import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet;

public class WebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) {
        WebApplicationContext context = getContext();
        servletContext.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(context));
        ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = servletContext.addServlet("DispatcherServlet", new DispatcherServlet(context));
        dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        dispatcher.addMapping("*.html");
    }

    private AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext getContext() {
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        context.setConfigLocation("com.pluralsight.WebConfig");
        return context;
    }
}

HelloController:

package com.pluralsight.controller;

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

@Controller
public class HelloController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/greeting")
    public String sayHello(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("greeting", "Hello World");

        return "hello.jsp";
    }
}

You can follow this link

Instead of WebAppInitializer class write Application class as in above link and declare start-class tag in properties.

It should work.
