Web App using Spring Boot
Why Stack Overflow recommends it
Stack Overflow users link it when answering why JSP pages fail to render in a Spring Boot app, since it shows the working step-by-step JSP and Tomcat Jasper configuration.

What it is
A roughly 15-minute tutorial from Navin Reddy of Telusko that walks through building a simple Spring Boot web application, including configuring JSP views with the embedded Tomcat. It is part of a longer Spring Boot MVC playlist.

By default spring boot doesn't support JSPs so you need to add the support like below. add tomcat jasper dependency in your pom.xml <!-- [LINK] --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-jasper</artifactId> <version>8.5.31</version> </dependency> **Here version should be same which your spring boot internal tomcat uses(for me it was 8.5.31) by adding this dependency spring boot will get to know that how to convert a jsp into servlet. The jsp page should be inside webapp directory. i am attaching an image for your reference regarding directory structure and video link for step by step configuration. [this video] [LINK]

Ensure that jasper dependency and embedded tomcat dependency versions should be same otherwise it will be an issue. Also try putting a jsp page outside itself like src/main/webapp/abc.jsp and remove view resolver and return directly like "abc.jsp" and see if that works. see this [this video] at 7:30

It turns out that it's non-trivial to get JSPs to work with Spring Boot.

It was important to specify "War" packaging (vs. the default "Jar") I added the following dependencies in my build.g

I am following the Telusko Spring Boot tutorial (my code is at [LINK] ). My project is supposed to print "Hello" on the console and display the message "I love Jesus." in home.jsp.
