There is only one Application class:

 @Controller @SpringBootApplication public class Application { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } @RequestMapping("/hello") public String showHelloWorld() { return "hello-world"; } }

The structure of the project is as follows: enter image description here

Dependencies:

 <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>1.4.4.RELEASE</version> </parent> <properties> <java.version>1.8</java.version> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-strater-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-strater-freemarker</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>

Problem:

When you start the application and go to http://localhost:8080/hello an error occurs:

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

Moreover, if I go to url http://localhost:8080/readme.txt , then the text from the corresponding file will be displayed in the browser.

What am I doing wrong ?

    In your dependencies, artifactId registered with an error: strater instead of starter . And spring-boot-starter-web two times - one with an error, and the other without. This should not be collected - maven should talk about undetected dependencies. Here it will be right

     <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-freemarker</artifactId> </dependency>
