Don't put your JSP in WEB-INF. It should be one level higher. — SeverityOne

Your JSPs should be in the src/main/webapp folder, not in WEB-INF. In addition, the createEmp method should return a ModelAndView instance. Whether this would solve your problem I can't say (yet), but these two points strike me as incorrect. — SeverityOne

While using Maven and I was missing these dependencies -

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
    </dependency>

I have little to no knowledge on Gradle you can try to remove javax-servlet and jsp dependencies. As you already have tomcat and web dependencies added. Also if you are using, jstl, you can use this dependency -

compile('javax.servlet:jstl')

After adding jasper and jstl dependencies, the White Label issue got resolved in my spring boot web application. Thank you Ajay Kumar.

Adding jasper dependency worked for me.

The embedded tomcat needs the jasper dependency to render the jsp views in Spring boot application.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
</dependency>

And if you require to write iteration, control statements in your jsp pages then also include JSTL i.e JSP Standard Tag Library in your pom.xml as follows:
```
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
</dependency>
```

compile group: 'org.apache.tomcat.embed', name: 'tomcat-embed-jasper', version: '9.0.7'

The above dependency worked for me.
