Spring Boot: Cannot access page html on localhost (404)

Question

I am trying to adapt the Controller example on the Spring Boot website. Unfortunately I've got the error 404 when I am trying to access the localhost:8080/NewFile URL

my EcomercController.java :

package com.techprimers.jpa.springjpahibernateexample.web;

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

@Controller
public class EcomercController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/NewFile", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String NewFile(){
         return "NewFile";
    }
}

and also i added this dependency in my porm.xml

 <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
    </dependency>

and my path package

com.exemple

----- com.exemple.web.EcomercController.java

com.exemple.SpringJpaHibernateExampleApplication

and my file NewFile.html in

resources->static->NewFile.html

Can you post the link of that example you are trying to replicate? — Alex

is it in the same package hierarchy as the class annotating SpringApplication? — sudipn

Place your html file in either of these-

src/main/resources/resources/index.html
src/main/resources/static/index.html 
src/main/resources/public/index.html

And since you opted for this-

src/main/resources/resources/index.html

Then place inside templates.

Your html file should be inside templates folder

resources->templates->NewFile.html

Read Spring Boot Serving static content to understand the resource mapping.

Make sure in the applicaton configuration (under the resources folder) you have no context mapping. I think the default is "/api", in which case you'd need to access the URL as:

localhost:8080/api/NewFile

recommended: don't capitalize your URIs. use new-file or newfile instead.
