jsp page shows 404

Got a simple project setup, my goal is to load a jsp file:

I got my Controller with a RequestMapping for a jsp file.

package com.example.registrationFrom.control;

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

@Controller
public class Control {

@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
    System.out.println("Going home...");
    return "index"; // name JSP file
}
}

application.properties with a directory to the jsp

spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/views/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp

A jsp file in the project directory:

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/index.jsp

And I added the dependency (which is active)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
</dependency>

When I run the code and check localhost:8080 I get a 404. I check the code a number of time but can't figure out why its not working. please check out my full code on github

If you're using Eclipse...

Did you check server.xml?

tomcat's server.xml

i guess, maybe you should be check - this area

<Context docBase="helloworld" path="/testRoot" reloadable="true" .../>

TO

<Context docBase="helloworld" path="/" reloadable="true" .../>

Otherwise, if you're using a embeded-in tomcat of spring-boot, you should do maven clean and install. Because JSP is not static page (and not automatic load), so should be build again.
