Jsp not found. status=404 : Whitelabel Error Page. ResourceHttpRequestHandler : "Path with "WEB-INF" or "META-INF": [WEB-INF/jsps/CreateLocation.jsp]"

Question

I'm facing the problem with accessing the jsp page in SpringBoot application.

Getting the bellow error.

o.s.w.s.r.ResourceHttpRequestHandler : "Path with "WEB-INF" or "META-INF": [WEB-INF/jsps/CreateLocation.jsp]"

Tried to change the WEB-INF folder to different locations. Didn't work.

Any new folder structure for Springboot v3.1.0

I tried all the given options which is mentioned in previous questions.

    }
}

Answer 1

Tried the same project in eclipse. Works good. No issues. Only facing that in intellij. Didn't change anything. Just imported and tried.
