Spring Boot MVC ViewResolver not working, not mapping to internal folder location - spring

Question

I am developing a spring boot mvc using Spring boot 1.5.6, Java 8. I am trying to use InternalResourceViewResolver for JSP page redirects/path. But it is unable to resolve the path. Could you please let me know what's wrong. Below are the codes
public class WebConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Resource
private Environment env;
#Override
public void addViewControllers(final ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
super.addViewControllers(registry);
registry.addViewController("/login").setViewName("login");
registry.setOrder(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE);
registry.addViewController("/registration.html");
registry.addViewController("/logout.html");
registry.addViewController("/home.html").setViewName("home");
}
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/resource/**").addResourceLocations("/static/");
}
// beans
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
final InternalResourceViewResolver bean = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
bean.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
bean.setPrefix("/ui/");
bean.setSuffix(".jsp");
return bean;
}
#Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
registry.viewResolver(viewResolver());
}
}

Below is the project structure

Answer 1

There is another approach in the latest spring version much simpler
Add the below in Application Properties
spring.mvc.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp
Also make sure your Project Structure is like this src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp
and under this your files home.jsp login.jsp

Answer 2

In your ViewResolver, change bean.setPrefix("/ui/") to bean.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/ui/") like this:
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
final InternalResourceViewResolver bean = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
bean.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
bean.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/ui/");
bean.setSuffix(".jsp");
return bean;
}
