spring boot - Controller not getting mapped

Question

My controller is not getting mapped in the console.

My main class Application

package com.ruchi.web.sbfirst;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SbFirstApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SbFirstApplication.class, args);
    }

}

LoginController

package com.ruchi.web.sbfirst.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
public class LoginController {

    @RequestMapping("/login")
    public String loginMessage() {
        return "Hello";
    }

}

Answer 1

Add @RestController annotation before the LoginController class

@RestController
public class LoginController {

    @RequestMapping("/login")
    public String loginMessage() {
        return "Hello";
    }

}

Reason you are using spring boot and also if you want to use @Controller annotation enable WebMVC.
