SpringBoot, Thymeleaf, Gradle: not accessing static resources, css not showing - spring-boot

I have tried so many things at this point, but my css will not show on my pages. this is my thymeleaf page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title th:text="${title}">Default Title</title>
<link th:href="#{/css/styles.css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
this is the error i get when I load this page, which i assume it important:
**2018-04-11 05:57:08.425 WARN 7904 --- [nio-8080-exec-2] o.s.web.servlet.PageNotFound : No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/css/styles.css] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcherServlet'**
I have my static resources in the PROPER folder, like this (image link):
Folders path
sources>main>resources>static and then another css folder, which i did add to the #{}.
I have searched and search everywhere for answers, I even added this to my WebMcvConfigurerAdapter class, like I kept seeing:
#Configuration
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry
.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
.addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
}
This is my current one(im using interceptors and stuff, just disregard that part):
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
public class MyAppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
registry.addInterceptor(new ProjectManagerInterceptor());
}
}
This is my build.gradle file, in case it helps:
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '1.5.10.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
group = 'org.launchcode'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa')

runtime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools')
runtime('mysql:mysql-connector-java')
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}
bootRun {
addResources = true
}
I have another project that also uses static resources like i'm trying to do, and it works perfectly. I will post some of it's code and information, in case it might help.

I just found the answer to my own question, so I'm going to leave this hear for anyone who might find it.
Spring Boot not serving static content
I had an unnecessary #EnableWebMvc annotation, that I took out, and my resources worked :D!

Gradle Spring Boot Application in IntelliJ is not recognizing web resources in WEB-INF folder

This is a new issue that derived from a previous question I had. I am writing a Spring Boot Application which is using a .jsp as the mvc view. My folder structure is:
My application.properties is as follows:
spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration
spring.mvc.view.prefix= /WEB-INF/view/
spring.mvc.view.suffix= .jsp
Finally, my HomeController.java is as follows:
#Controller
#Slf4j
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping(value="/", method= RequestMethod.GET)
public String showPage()
{
return "main-menu";
}
}
The program should render the main-menu.jsp file on my home page at localhost:8080, but instead I get an error. Here is the stack trace for the error:

As far as I can tell, it seems to be an issue with either the way IntelliJ is setup or the way Gradle is setup. Either way, the Resource directory or file is not being recognized.
Here's some of the things I've done/tried:
In Project Structure, I added the folder WEB-INF as a web resource directory in modules.
In Settings >>> Compiler, I added !?.jsp to the Resource Patterns
Finally, in gradle.build, I added sourceSets (this caused an error and I removed it).
Thank you for any help I can get.
Edit:
I've updated my project structure as follows.
I also added apply plugin: 'war' to my gradle.build and added the folder to my project facets.
I am still getting the same issue with resource not found.
I was able to figure it out with the help of a coworker. I had to make a few changes to my SpringMvcDemoApplication.java file and to my gradle.build. Here are the changes.
SpringMvcDemoApplication (added bean for InternalResourceViewResolver):
#SpringBootApplication(exclude=DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class)
public class SpringMvcDemoApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
return builder.sources(SpringMvcDemoApplication.class);
}
#Bean
public ViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver bean = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
bean.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
bean.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/view/");
bean.setSuffix(".jsp");
return bean;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringMvcDemoApplication.class, args);
}
}
HomeController.java (Removed #Slf4j)
#Controller
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String showPage()
{
return "main-menu";
}
}
gradle.build (added tomcat and jstl dependencies):
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.5.1'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
group = 'com.example.springdemo'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
apply plugin: 'war'
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-validation'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
implementation 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.18'
implementation group: 'javax.servlet', name: 'jstl', version: '1.2' //addee
implementation group: 'org.apache.tomcat.embed', name: 'tomcat-embed-jasper'
testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
Everything works fine now.
Following through from last question
https://stackoverflow.com/a/68158449/14967681
please try changing your project structure as mentioned by bringing out WEB-INF out from resources into new folder as webapp. I am not sure of the reason why it fails to detect folder inside resources for that configuration mentioned but this should work for you.
Here is the project structure you should use: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IZXx1.png

Wrong Header of the API versioning of the Post Request does not come to handleNoHandlerFoundException?

I am using Spring Boot v2.1.7 + HATEOAS + Spring Rest + Spring Security. When consumer doesn't pass the correct Custom Header in the request, say passes X-Accept-Version=v5, it gives me below error.

return new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.OK);
}
Why its not coming to handleNoHandlerFoundException of the #ControllerAdvice ?
#Override
protected ResponseEntity<Object> handleNoHandlerFoundException(NoHandlerFoundException ex, HttpHeaders headers,
HttpStatus status, WebRequest request) {
...................
return handleExceptionInternal(ex, error, getHeaders(), HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, request);
}
I was able to solve this issue by taking a reference from : How to set default value of exported as false in rest resource spring data rest.
By adding below logic, it works greatly.
#Component
public class SpringRestConfiguration extends RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
config.setRepositoryDetectionStrategy(RepositoryDetectionStrategy.RepositoryDetectionStrategies.ANNOTATED);
config.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(false);
}
}

Use thymeleaf template of another project

There seems to be problem if using thymeleaf for multiple projects.
Let's say I have a spring application in project 2 & the controller in project 1. With proper #ComponentScan defined, the application able to display the view/html in my template folder. But once I added the thymeleaf-layout-dialect maven dependency, it failed with "There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404)." error.

#GetMapping(value="/hello2")
public ModelAndView hello2() {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
mav.setViewName("hello-world");

}
As in Controller1, The "api/hello" can be requested successfully because it doesn't involve the template. But for the "api/hello2" request, it unable to render the hello-world.html. Here are the error stacks:

I am certain that it is due to thymeleaf-layout-dialect, because if I remove it from pom.xml everything work fine.
The problem is I need it to layout thymeleaf page. How to display the template in another different project from spring application?
As you have published an example project, I can't follow the issue :/
Are you sure you did not just confuse the "hello world" messages from the controller with the message from the template?
When I modify: \prj1\src\main\resources\templates\hello-world.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>HW</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello World!! (from Template in prj1)!
</body>
</html>
I had to add this into pom.xml of prj1 because of some weird classpath issue:
(the thymeleaf-layout-dialect lib you use seems to bring in an additional thymeleaf jar - did not investigate that)
<dependency>
<groupId>org.thymeleaf</groupId>
<artifactId>thymeleaf</artifactId>
<version>3.0.11.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
When I run prj2 app and call: http://localhost:8080/api/hello3 or http://localhost:8080/api/hello2
I get:
Hello World!! (from Template in prj1)!
Which is what we want?
When I call: http://localhost:8080/api/hello
I get an error because of some not found template ("hello world" is of course not a template file).
So I'm not sure why it does not work for you :/
I'm not sure how this works without that dependency. The controllers that work with templates can return the template name directly. And you are implementing rest controllers which suggest different defaults than required for working with templates (like the content types).
So a controller that would invoke a template looks like (this is my way of doing it, can't claim I know its the only one):
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
#Controller
public class MyController {
#Autowired
public MyController() {
}
#RequestMapping("/hello-world")
public String hello(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("someKey", "someValue");
return "hello-world"; // this is the template name in src/main/resources
}
}
And this way it is also possible to have controllers / templates bundled in one jar and use them in a different spring boot application as dependencies. Since it is all classpath based (there is a property to configure this: spring.thymeleaf.prefix) this just worked for me.
I think the reason really is your rest controller - which might confuse things a bit.

Spring Boot : Having a custom annotation on spring rest controller class causing error in identifying handler mapping

I am using a custom annotation called #Toggle on top of a rest controller class in spring boot to intercept the handlerType to block rest calls.
See below code snippet:
#RestController
#Toggle(feature="feature.foo")
#RequestMapping("/foo")
public class FooController {
#RequestMapping("")
public Map hello() {
return Collections.singletonMap("message", "hello foo!");
}
}
But I am not able to access the api which fails even before dispatcher servlet find the handler method.

However, if I use the same #Toggle annotation on a method inside rest controller class, the handler mapping finds the right method to invoke.
#RequestMapping("/foo")
#Toggle(feature = "feature.foo")
public Map hello() {
return Collections.singletonMap("message", "hello foo!");
}
How can I make sure spring boot maps to right handler method even if I use custom annotation on top of rest controller.

spring boot runs but the pages are not accessible

When I access my app via browser I get an 404 (Whitelabel Error Page).
After searching around, I think it could be a problem with my sitemesh filter.
#Bean
public FilterRegistrationBean sitemesh() throws Exception {
FilterRegistrationBean filterRegistrationBean = new FilterRegistrationBean();
filterRegistrationBean.setFilter(new MySiteMeshFilter());
return filterRegistrationBean;
}
MySitemeshFilter:
protected static class MySiteMeshFilter extends ConfigurableSiteMeshFilter {
protected void applyCustomConfiguration(SiteMeshFilterBuilder builder) {
builder.addDecoratorPath("/*", "/decorators/basic-theme.jsp");
}
}
What do you think? Thank you!
EDIT:
It could be also possible, that my Security Configuration is the problem:
#Configuration
#Order(SecurityProperties.ACCESS_OVERRIDE_ORDER)
public class ApplicationSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Autowired
private MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/", "/error").permitAll()
.antMatchers("/register*", "/login", "/lostPassword").anonymous()
.antMatchers("/admin","/admin**").hasRole("ADMIN")
.antMatchers("/user", "/user/**", "/offer/*", "/page", "/page/**").hasAnyRole("USER", "COMPANY_USER", "COMPANY_MASTER", "ADMIN")
.antMatchers("/company", "/company/**").hasAnyRole("COMPANY_USER", "COMPANY_MASTER", "ADMIN")
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin().loginPage("/login").failureUrl("/login?error=true").usernameParameter("username").passwordParameter("password").loginProcessingUrl("/security_check")
.successHandler(new MyAuthenticationSuccessHandler(this.mongoTemplate));
http.logout().logoutUrl("/logout").invalidateHttpSession(true).logoutSuccessUrl("/");
}
#Override
public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.userDetailsService(new MyUserDetailsService(this.mongoTemplate)).passwordEncoder(new ShaPasswordEncoder(256));
}
}
EDIT 2:
The controllers are not resolved. Setting the #ComponentScan "basePackages" attribute helps. The controller-methods are now being executed. But it looks like spring boot cannot find my views(directory) to render the page.
EDIT 3:
This is a part of my logging output. Is there anything unusual? It starts with INFO log (log4j) "starting page" which I put in the method ("/") of my controller. The controller method belonging to the RequestMapping is fired, but I think spring boot cannot find the jsp.

In my application.properties I added:
spring.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/views/
spring.view.suffix=.jsp
For any of you who stumbled here looking for an answer to 'o.s.w.servlet.view.BeanNameViewResolver : No matching bean found for view name 'home'', Spring has tried and failed to locate a view resolver for 'home'.
If it is pure html you want to serve, you need just return '/home.html' from your controller. Spring will look for this file under /src/main/resources/static and return a response accordingly.
For other ways to resolve views, read this excellent answer, How to map requests to HTML file in Spring MVC?
