spring boot load jsp as txt?

Question

I use spring boot to do a simple web page. Here are the codes:

src/main/java/Application.java

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

src/mian/java/Config.java

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class Config extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter
{
    @Override
    public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer)
    {
        configurer.enable();
    }

    @Bean
    public InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver()
    {
        InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
        resolver.setPrefix("WEB-INF/views/");
        resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
        return resolver;
    }
}

src/main/java/TestController.java

@Controller
public class TestController
{
    String name = "Peter!";

    @RequestMapping("/test")
    public String admin(ModelAndView mv)
    {
        System.out.println("in controller");

        mv.addObject("name", name);
        return "test";
    }
}

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/test.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Just for test</title>
</head>
<body>
    ${name}
</body>
</html>

I start the project from the Application.java, and put http://localhost:8080/test in the browser, but the browser just show the source code of test.jsp. It seems spring boot treat jsp as txt file... How to fix it?

Have you included the javax.servlet jstl dependency in your pom? — David Lavender, Jun 04 '15 at 11:12
@MrSpoon No, I didn't. Spring boot already included it? If I change test.jsp to test.html, then html files display correctly. But jsp failed... — Yichang Xu, Jun 04 '15 at 13:37

@jst Thank you for your link. It's the same. I have fixed it by add jasper and jstl. — Yichang Xu, Jun 05 '15 at 04:22

add this dependency to your pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

Please also add an explanation about how or why this helps. Just dumping code might be confusing to some future readers that have a similar problem – David Medenjak Apr 09 '16 at 16:47
