I have a springboot app that serves a webpage just fine when running locally but for some reason returns 404 when I package a deploy the war file to production env, I get a 404 error. In my controller, I return a jsp page that includes an html page from my /resources/static folder. This all works fine locally.
I'm deploying to tomcat 7.0.52
this is my pom

My Springboot app's main class
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringbootApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(SpringbootApplication.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(SpringbootApplication.class, args);
}
}
My class that extends webmvcConfigureAdapter
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{
@Override
public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
System.out.println("in mvc config");
registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("forward:index2.html");
}
@Override
public void configureDefaultServletHandling(
DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
System.out.println("configure serve handling");
configurer.enable();
}
@Bean
InternalResourceViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver () {
InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return viewResolver;
}
}
My main controller.
@Controller
public class MainController {
@RequestMapping(value={"/"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(){
System.out.println("inside mainController");
return "chatbot";
}
}
Finally my application.properties file looks like this.
spring.mvc.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp
The structure of my project looks like this...
src/main/webapp
-> assets
-> resources
-> static ->index.html
-> WEB-INF
->jsp -> index.jsp
Please help. I've been stuck on this for over 8 hrs now. Thanks.
