TemplateInputException: Error resolving template ****, template might not exist - ajax

Question

Im using SpringBoot with a mySql database.
I am trying to filter search through a table of teams. Initially this table was a thymeleaf table (see my related SO questions) but after exhausting all resources available on the internet, to no success I decided to implement the search differently.
I found a really helpful website that has a practical, relevant example of what I want to implement.
http://javasampleapproach.com/frontend/bootstrap/bootstrap-filter-table-jquery-springboot-restapi
I have a working example of it which is fine and good, but when I got to implement it into my project I get a few thought provoking errors, since I am a total Noob I am seeking the generous help of stackoverflow users.
I have also tried search stack overflow for a solution with no success.
Error resolving template "index", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
Thymeleaf cannot detect templates inside spring-boot project
When I go onto the relevant webpage I receive an error dialog immediately, see below with the console errors, you can also see the table is not being populated at all and is in fact empty:
!Console Error]2
My server side code error:

My projects setup:

Answer 1

Need few more details on how you are setting your projects.
where is your html located. Is it under /resources/templates ?
you are missing <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"> on your html.
try commenting out your jQuery Ajax call and see if your initial html is loaded properly or not.
Is your controller rest controller #RestController is a convenience annotation that does nothing more than adding the #Controller and #ResponseBody ?
Check these and it should fix your problem.

Answer 2

I changed my "/all" controller ever so slightly:
#RequestMapping(value="/all", method=RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public List<Team> getResource() {
List<Team> cueList = teamRepository.findAll();
return cueList;
}
By adding the ResponseBody annotation it solved all issues and the search works perfectly!
