Spring Boot jsp file not found Error 404 weird prefix

I am currently learning Spring/Spring Boot and I am trying to code a forgot password function. All my other functions, like login etc. are working as intended, but redirecting to an reset-password page does not work for some reason and gives me the following error, in which it looks for the jsp with a weird prefix.
There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
JSP file [/reset-password/WEB-INF/jsp/reset-password.jsp] not found
My folder structure
I generate links that look like so: http://localhost:8080/reset-password/{a-random-uuid}
reset-password.jsp
<%# include file="includes/header.jsp" %>
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-title">Reset your password</h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<form:form modelAttribute="resetPasswordForm" role="form">
<form:errors cssClass="error" />
<div class="form-group">
<form:label path="password">Type new password</form:label>
<form:password path="password" class="form-control"
placeholder="Password" />
<form:errors cssClass="error" path="password" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<form:label path="retypePassword">Retype new password</form:label>
<form:password path="retypePassword" class="form-control"
placeholder="Retype password" />
<form:errors cssClass="error" path="retypePassword" />
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Reset password</button>
</form:form>
</div>
</div>
<%#include file="includes/footer.jsp"%>
My reset-controller:
[imports]
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/reset-password/{resetPasswordCode}")
public class ResetPasswordController {
private final UserCommandService userCommandService;
public ResetPasswordController(UserCommandService userCommandService) {
this.userCommandService = userCommandService;
}
#GetMapping
public String forgotPassword(Model model){
model.addAttribute(new ResetPasswordForm());
return "reset-password";
}
#PostMapping
public String resetPassword(#PathVariable String resetPasswordCode, #Validated ResetPasswordForm resetPasswordForm, BindingResult result, RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes){
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "reset-password";
}
try{
userCommandService.resetPassword(resetPasswordCode, resetPasswordForm.getPassword());
MyUtils.flash(redirectAttributes, "success", "Password was changed");
return "redirect:/login";
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
result.reject("Url is invalid");
return "reset-password";
}
}
}
The Resetpasswordform
package com.learningspring.springdiproject.dto;
import constraints.Password;
import constraints.RetypePassword;
#RetypePassword
public class ResetPasswordForm {
#Password
private String password;
#Password
private String retypePassword;
public String getRetypePassword() {
return retypePassword;
}
public void setRetypePassword(String retypePassword) {
this.retypePassword = retypePassword;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}

I am pretty sure my pom and controller are right, since I can't see a difference between this controller and my other controllers.
Note: Password and Retype password are just custom constraints, that check, the size of the password and if the two passwords of the form math an such.
I think somewhere, the Viewcontroller messes up and puts the prefix in there. But I could not find out where that may come from. Others with the same problem didnt have jasper in their pom or the wrong folder structure, but I double checked those errors.

Try to change the following property to start with a /
spring.mvc.view.prefix= /WEB-INF/jsp/
This will allow spring to search into subfolders of your webapp/WEB-INF/jsp path.

Validation not working Spring Boot, Spring in Action excercise

I am following along with a chapter exercise in Spring in Action the chapter goes through validation but even when I POST the forms with empty input it does not return any form of validation errors! No matter what I do I cannot trigger a validation error response, the form is just accepted as it is completely empty.

I am using Spring Boot so have not done much of POM editing except for trying to solve this particular problem, I attach it here anyway for reference:

Removing the whole POM, shutting down Eclipse then regenerate the POM through Spring Boot seems to have solved the problem.
Do not know if it was the POM or Eclipse who acted up but now it does indeed work.

How to create executable WAR or JAR in Springboot

I wrote a simple HELLOWORLD Springboot/thymeleaf project in eclipse and I can run it.
Then I tried to create a single executable war (or jar) file, but it is not possible. What I need is a single executable Jar or war file that I use as a executable (runnable) file on my computer without using eclipse.
Export as a War
Export as a Jar
application class:
package com.example.handlingformsubmission;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
#SpringBootApplication
public class HandlingFormSubmissionApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(HandlingFormSubmissionApplication.class, args);
}
}
The Controller ->
package com.example.handlingformsubmission;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
#Controller
public class GreetingController {
#GetMapping("/greeting")
public String greetingForm(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("greeting", new Greeting());
return "greeting";
}
#PostMapping("/greeting")
public String greetingSubmit(#ModelAttribute Greeting greeting, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("greeting", greeting);
return "result";
}
}

<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> <input type="reset" value="Reset" /></p>

I found the solution:
1- Add this code in pom file:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
2- Then run the project as a MAVEN BUILD.
3- write "package" in goals field.
4- click run.

error scrrenshot:

This error happens when the Thymeleaf Extras Spring Security version is not compatible with the Spring Framework version, in its case, the Spring Boot version works with the Spring Framework version 5.x and the Thymeleaf Extras Spring Security version you have is 4.x. You need update the artifactId in your pom.xml and either choose a compatible version or let Spring Boot choose the version for you
