Springboot does not serve static content

Question

I am not able to access static content (angular app) or even a simple index.html file from spring-boot. I keep getting 404 error. Spring is not serving me with those static files. I have the problem since I have upgraded to Spring-Boot 2.2.4. I had to upgrade to counter Zip64 issue.

I have this line in my application.properties:

spring.resources.static-locations=classpath:/resources/,classpath:/static/

I also have my own staticResourceConfiguration class.

In my WebSecurity class, i have the following which is supposed to serve static content if the url path is matched to the below patterns. The problem is localhost:8080/index.html works and localhost:8080 return 404

        .antMatchers(HttpMethod.GET, "/**","/**/*.html", "/static/favicon.ico", "/**/*.js", "/**/*.js.map", "/**/*.css", "/**/*.png", "/**/*.jpg", "/**/*.jpeg", "/**/*.gif", "/**/*.ttf", "/**/*.json", "/**/*.woff", "/**/*.woff2", "/**/*.eot", "/**/*.svg","/**/*.json").permitAll()

spring-boot-starter-web just verify you are using this dependency. We no need to configure if your file under static directory. — Muthu, Feb 07 '20 at 20:19
it is under resources>static>index.html. This sub-folder contains the an angular 7 built app. When I debug it works perfectly. It is only when I build a jar from spring-boot that things are not the same. — Nesan Mano, Feb 07 '20 at 20:52
