Spring MVC Controller jsp file not found - spring-boot

Question

I am creating a simple demo web for training purposes. The web displays the static content index.html correctly but whenever I try to route to /greeting url (specified by my controller) I get 404 error as showed below
However My code structure is the following
And the applicaiton.properties fiels is configured:
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
My controller is also defined:
package com.pluralsight.conference.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import java.util.Map;
#Controller
public class GreetingController {
#GetMapping("greeting")
public String greeting(Map<String,Object> model) {
model.put("message","Hello Jonel");
return "greeting";
}
}
My pom.xml is configured as a war and the dependencies are the following
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

To use jsp as your view resolver, you need another embedded servlet container for Spring Boot Starter Web. Add the following to your dependencies in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
