Problem: I need help fixing an issue with my program involving my GET request and retrieving the endpoints for the /register and /user pages.
Program: Program works as follows: Running the localhost will allow the user to input their details to the page (username, password, address). Once that's completed, this will be saved to an account name (which is editable), be saved via mySQL, and viewable on the /users page. Additionally, the users page will display all registered accounts (ID, email, password, and account(s)), and a link w/ a numbered userID will appear in /users page and clicking on it redirects to the single user's details and allows the user to make any changes to their info. Clicking on their account(s) name in users will do the same.

Goal: My localhost is retrieving me a 500 status error for both /user and /register pages, and my IDE isn't giving me any errors at runtime until I input the URL paths, which is:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Circular view path [register]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/register] again. Check your ViewResolver setup! (Hint: This may be the result of an unspecified view, due to default view name generation.)
I need help identifying the issue with my code, getting the pages to run on the host, and also understanding the current error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

But I'm guessing your solution would be to change in POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
to:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>
