I am pretty new to Spring Boot, and I saw that if I start a Spring Boot project and put an index.html file in the folder src/main/resources/static, then when I open my browser and go to address "localhost:8080", I'll see this file displayed in the browser.
Now, I have another html file (let's call it 'hello.html'), and I also placed it in src/main/resources/static. I wrote the following code:
@Configuration
@Controller
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan
public class TopicController {
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public String hello() {
return "hello.html";
}
}
As you can understand, I want that when I go to localhost:8000/hello, I'll see the display of 'hello.html' file.
However, I get the following error in the console:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Circular view path [hello.html]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/hello.html] again. Check your ViewResolver setup! (Hint: This may be the result of an unspecified view, due to default view name generation.)
Do you know what I can do so I can get the hello.html file in the browser for accessing "localhost:8080/hello" ?
