trying to load this webpage.

index.html

   <html>
   <body>
   <p>Get your greeting<a href="/greeting">here</a></p>
   </body>
   </html>

However all that is returned is the text, index.html is not being displayed by the web browser, i added all the dependencies I thought i would need. The tomcat server runs fine and there is no warnings anywhere to indicate I need to add something.

Answer 1

Your browser is not displaying it as a html document, because it doesn't recognize it as such. Please read about the HTML5 standard and it's minimal requirements, eg. here
