Why is the JSP page not rendered while deploying a SpringBoot App in Pivotal Web Services while it works fine with Thymeleaf and other views - spring

Question

The application is deployed in pivotal web services and when I hit the application with the link https://webstore.cfapps.io/, the login.jsp page is not rendered.
The same application runs successfully in the local server. I tried for searching the same issue but none of them solve the problem. I used both STS deployment and also tried cf command line for deploying separately but couldn't get the result.
I am giving you the details.
The error shown.
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp
spring.datasource.url= jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ecommercestore

3.The manifest.yml generated after deployment is
applications:
name: webstore

host: webstore
domain: cfapps.io
buildpack: standard buildpack provided in git hub. I am not writing link

The result after giving the following command from cmd is
cf push webstore -p target/webstore-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --no-start

6. I went to myapp in pivotal and started the application after binding the database cleardb to the same instant and application, the application runs successfully with the Running Status
7. the folder arrangement is as follows:
I have kept jsp pages in
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp
While the application.properties is in src/main/resources.
I will provide more details if needed. the github link for the code is

Answer 1

you are packaging it as a jar not as a war . In that case put your jsp files into static folder under resources or follow the below the link to understand better on the packaging aspect. But I feel it is better to package it as a war
Package a spring boot application including JSPs and static resources.
Also please check the jar generated before pushing the app to PWS whether jsp is avaibale at the requested path.
