I'm tired of investigating this issue, and I can not find a proper answer. Actually, I didn't find anyone using Java 11 and Spring. My JSP are not loading, it is simply as that. Some information about my project:
Spring Boot version: 2.0.5.RELEASE
Java version: 11
Gradle: 4.10.2
These are my application.yml properties:

My jsp files are in:
/parent-project-folder/my-app/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/
My main class:
@SpringBootApplication(exclude = { SecurityAutoConfiguration.class })
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
/** The log. */
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
/**
* The main method.
*
* @param args the arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication springApplication = new SpringApplication(Application.class);
springApplication.addListeners(new ApplicationPidFileWriter(System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + "app.pid"));
springApplication.run(args);
LOG.info("--------------------------------------------------------------");
LOG.info("--------- application startup complete --------");
LOG.info("--------------------------------------------------------------");
}
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
*
* @see org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer#configure(org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder)
*/
@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
}
I even tried to put my WEB-INF folder under /src/main/resources.
Next, this is the list of my dependencies (just a draft copy-paste):

I have a login.jsp at the root, which I should be able like this https://localhost:9012/mypath/login.html, and it doesn't load.
UPDATE on Friday Nov 23
I'm making some progress. I will explain more about my app. Originally this app was written using Java 1.8 and Spring 1.5.9.RELEASE and BOMs for my development. The app used to have a GET controller under this path: "/login". And here comes the tricky part of it: whenever you hit the url "https://www.myapp.com/login.htm", in someway/somehow which I don't understand, Spring managed it to send the request for "login.htm" to the controller "/login". I'm not sure how it realized about the extra ".htm".
Now, as I'm using Java 11 and Spring 2.1.0.RELEASE, this doesn't work anymore. If I hit "/login" it goes to the controller. But I need to make a transparent migration, I can't change logic. This app serves requests, and the client side have been using "/login.htm" since years ago. I need to make "/login.htm" go to "/login".
