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

Question

I am new to Spring Boot, trying to build a web application using JSP with Spring Boot, getting the fallback error I have given the path exactly.

Please refer the below link. where I created the WEb_INF and path https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-qkoy49zIZe-Y6-zPeAn9g2aRGaDHt01/view?usp=sharing

File CustomerContoller.java

package com.javabrains.controller;

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

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/customer")
public class CustomerController {

    public String hello(ModelMap Model) {
        return "list";
    }
}

File application.properties

I expect the list.jsp file should run successfully without any problems. How can I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Nothing is happening because you haven't added any map on your method inside your controller. So add a map on a method like

@GetMapping(value="")
public String hello(ModelMap Model) {
    return "list";
}

After running the project, open your browser and hit localhost:8080/customer.
