This is my mvc configuration class.
package com.myproj.spring.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;

import org.thymeleaf.extras.tiles2.dialect.TilesDialect;
import org.thymeleaf.extras.tiles2.spring4.web.configurer.ThymeleafTilesConfigurer;
import org.thymeleaf.extras.tiles2.spring4.web.view.ThymeleafTilesView;
import org.thymeleaf.spring4.SpringTemplateEngine;
import org.thymeleaf.spring4.view.ThymeleafViewResolver;
import org.thymeleaf.templateresolver.ClassLoaderTemplateResolver;
#Configuration

#EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/**").addResourceLocations("/").setCachePeriod(31556926);
}
#Bean
public ClassLoaderTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
ClassLoaderTemplateResolver result = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
result.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
result.setSuffix(".html");
result.setTemplateMode("HTML5");
result.setOrder(1);
return result;
}
#Bean
public ThymeleafTilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer() {
ThymeleafTilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer = new ThymeleafTilesConfigurer();
tilesConfigurer.setDefinitions(new String[] { "classpath:tiles/tiles-def.xml" });
return tilesConfigurer;
}
#Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine(ClassLoaderTemplateResolver templateResolver) {
SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver);
templateEngine.addDialect(new TilesDialect());
return templateEngine;
}
#Bean
public ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver(SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine) {
ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine);
viewResolver.setViewClass(ThymeleafTilesView.class);
return viewResolver;
}
}
and my controller
package com.myproj.spring.config;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/")
public class DefaultController {
#RequestMapping(value = { "/", "/home" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(HttpServletRequest request) {
System.out.println("index page");
return "index";
}
#RequestMapping(value="/login", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String login(HttpServletRequest request) {
System.out.println("login page");
return "login";
}
}
Here is my project structure
I'm using Spring Tools Suite and embedded Tomcat 8.
Any help please?

The solution is to put templates in src\main\resources.
