Spring Boot Thymeleaf Whitelabel Error Page

Question

I have an apllication using spring boot 2.7.1, when i type the address http://localhost:9096/popup/111111, I get the below response:

Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Tue Aug 02 12:20:32 CET 2022 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).

public class PopupRequest {

    @GetMapping("/{requestNumber}")
    String index(@PathVariable("requestNumber") String requestNumber) {
        return "index";

}

Answer 1

Try adding @RequestMapping("/popup") as an annotation to the class like so:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/popup")
public class PopupRequest {

    @GetMapping("/{requestNumber}")
    String index(@PathVariable("requestNumber") String requestNumber) {
        return "index";
    }
}

Answer 2

   //
   You must inclose request mapping with 
   parenthesis ("/")
    //
    Controller
    @RequestMapping("/popup")
    public class PopupRequest {
    @GetMapping("/{requestNumber}")
 String index(@PathVariable("requestNumber"String r requestNumber) {
    return "index";
}

}
