webapp - SRVE0278E: Error while adding servlet mapping --> /*

Question

I've set the value

<jsp-attribute name="fileServingEnabled" value="false"/>

according to IBM Support discussion.

But also I'm getting this error:

webapp - SRVE0278E: Error while adding servlet mapping --> /*.

I've included the most part of my code required in my previous question Running Spring Boot Application on WebSphere 9

I'm using Spring Boot 1.4.3.RELEASE and websphere 9.0.0.1 traditional.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Check this page Configuring JSP engine parameters. It should be specified via:

 <enable-file-serving value="false"/>

not <jsp-attribute> element.

Here is sample from documentation:
