I am developing a web app using Spring boot.

The use case is, if an user goes to home page, he will be redirected to a new unique URL each time. Eg: www.Qqd.com --> www.qqd.comjsdh.
Next time it would be something different, like www.qqd.comdkjfbd

But in both the cases, it will show same JSP.
I am doing it as a REST framework so that in future I can extend for mobile app development as well.

package com.example.qqd;



import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;



@RestController

public class QDetailsService {



    Logger log = Logger.getLogger(QDetailsService.class);



    @GetMapping("/")

    public ModelAndView getNewUrl(ModelMap model){

       log.info("URL generated is: ");

       return new ModelAndView("redirect:/"+"abcde", model);

    }



    @RequestMapping(value="/{url}")

    public String addDetails(@PathVariable String url){

        log.info("URL: " + url + " , detail: " );

        //return new ModelAndView("home.jsp");

        return "home";

    }

}

ServletInitializer.java

public class ServletInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {



    @Override

    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {

        return application.sources(QqdApplication.class);

    }

}

QqdApplication.java

@SpringBootApplication //This annotation means, it is the starting point of the app. 

public class QqdApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {



    public static void main(String args) {

        SpringApplication.run(QqdApplication.class, args);

    }

}

Have you tried returning the ModelAndView object? Notice that I removed the .jsp from home.jsp

@RequestMapping(value="/{url}")

public ModelAndView addDetails(@PathVariable String url){

    log.info("URL: " + url + " , detail: " );

    return new ModelAndView("home");

}

Ok, I myself found the solution and following did work
Step1: Have the following lines in application.properties

spring.mvc.view.prefix: /WEB-INF/jsp/

spring.mvc.view.suffix: .jsp

Step 2: I don't see Spring tool suite creating WEB-INF/jsp folders under src/webapp. So create it and move the jsp under that folder.

This worked like a charm. Thanks everyone for helping me.

This is a big issue i almost spent more than 2 hour but finally able to resolve.

Step 1 : add to application.properties :-

     - spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/pages/

     - spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp

Step 2 : add to pom.xml : -

     -dependency 

      <dependency>

        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>

        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>

      </dependency>

Controller

        @RequestMapping(value="/homepage",method=RequestMethod.GET)

            public String hello(Model model)

            {

                model.addAttribute("message","Hello");

                return "myjsppage";

            }
