Answer 1

Try this.

Defining class-level request handling

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/index")
public class ControllerAccount {


    public String welcomePage(){
        System.out.println("aa");
        return "index";
    }
}

OR Defining method-level GET request handling

@Controller
 public class ControllerAccount {

       @RequestMapping(value="/index", method=GET)
        public String welcomePage(){
            System.out.println("aa");
            return "index";
        }
    }

Answer 2

Use :

@Controller
 public class ControllerAccount {

       @RequestMapping(value = "/index", method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String welcomePage(){
            System.out.println("aa");
            return "index";
        }
    }
