I am attempting to deploy my Spring Boot project to Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. I have tested and have no issue if I use the default Thymeleaf configuration, but when I switch to JSP based setup I get 404's as it cannot find the JSP's (located in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp)

I have attempted to deploy the sample (spring-boot-sample-tomcat-jsp) and find that this as well gives me a 404 when I run the provided test.

Here is how I have typically been configuring my Spring Boot Projects to allow for the use of JSP's.

1. Add Jasper and JSTL to pom.xml

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

2. Override default view resolver configuration

   @Configuration
   @EnableWebMvc
   public class MvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter
   {
   
       @Bean
       public ViewResolver getViewResolver(){
           InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
           resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
           resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
   
           return resolver;
       }
   
       @Override
       public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer){
           configurer.enable();
       }
   }
   

3. Create folder for JSP's (src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp)

Now this method works without issue until I deploy to Elastic Beanstalk where I find that no matter if I create a jar and use Java (in Elastic Beanstalk) or create a war and use Tomcat (in eb) I get a 404 when any controller tries to return a view in the WEB-INF/jsp folder.

Is the above method for switching to JSP's not recommended? Is there a better way to configure Spring Boot to use Tomcat/Jasper/JSP's?

I have attempted the method provided in the Spring Boot Samples on github here

But what's interesting is if I run the provided test i get the same 404.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there is a better way to deploy a Spring Boot project that utilizes JSP's I'd be happy to switch over, but currently I seem to have configured myself into a corner.

Thx!
