Why is Controller not loading view? - spring

Question

Hi I'm making a car rental app and I have two controllers atm, the first controller handles two form views, the second is for displaying a table of data sent from the controller.
First Controller
indexController
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/")
public class IndexController {
#Autowired
private UserService userService;
#Autowired
private CustomerFactory userFactory;
#PostMapping("/register")
public String registerUser(#ModelAttribute User user){
User u = userFactory.createUser(user.getName(), user.getPassword());
userService.saveUser(u);
return "login";
}
#GetMapping("/login")
public String login(){
return "login";
}
#PostMapping("/login")
public String loginUser(#ModelAttribute User user){
User authenticatedUser = userService.authenticate(user.getName(), user.getPassword());
System.out.println(authenticatedUser.toString());
return "car-list";
}
}
Second Controller
Vehicle Controller
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/car-list")
public class VehicleController {
#GetMapping
public String carList(Model model){
List<Vehicle> vehicles = new ArrayList<>();
Vehicle VWGolf = new BasicCar();
Vehicle Duster = new SUVDecorator(new BasicCar());
vehicles.add(Duster);
Location limerick= new Location("Limerick");
Location cork = new Location("Cork");
VehicleUpdatePublisher golfSubject = new VehicleUpdatePublisher(VWGolf, "Volkswagen Golf");
VehicleUpdatePublisher dustersubject = new VehicleUpdatePublisher(Duster, "Dacia Duster");
golfSubject.attach(limerick);
dustersubject.attach(limerick);
VehicleUpdatePublisher ferrariSubject = new VehicleUpdatePublisher(VWGolf, "Ferrari 458");
VehicleUpdatePublisher rollsRoyceSubject = new VehicleUpdatePublisher(Duster, "Rolls Royce Ghost");
ferrariSubject.attach(cork);
rollsRoyceSubject.attach(cork);
model.addAttribute("location1", limerick.getLocationName());
model.addAttribute("vehicle1Name", golfSubject.getVehicleName());
model.addAttribute("vehicle2Name", dustersubject.getVehicleName());
model.addAttribute("location2", cork.getLocationName());
model.addAttribute("vehicle3Name", ferrariSubject.getVehicleName());
model.addAttribute("vehicle4Name", rollsRoyceSubject.getVehicleName());
return "car-list";
}
}
My first controller handles the first two views index.html and login.html
The second controller handles car-list.html, my problem is when I submit my login.html form through the loginUser() function it doesn't move to the car-list view. It just brings it to a blank page.
The url stays as localhost:8080/login but if I put localhost:8080/car-list in it brings it to my view with the table displayed. I think its some issue with my mapping but I'm not sure?
Any help appreciated.
Can add code for the views if needed.
