Error resolving template with java -jar

[LeonFelipeCordero]

Hi!!!
I'm having problem trying to run a spring-boot app inside my production environment with java -jar target/myjar.jar, before launch the app to production I was running it in my localhost with the maven plugin and it was working perfect, here is an example of one controller:

    @RequestMapping(value = "/")
    public ModelAndView home(ModelAndView modelAndView) {
        Crawl crawl = crawlService.getLastNormalCrawl();

        if(crawl != null){
            setCrawlInfo(modelAndView, crawl);
            modelAndView.setViewName("/layout/home");
            return modelAndView;
        } else{
            modelAndView.setViewName("/index");
            return modelAndView;
        }
    }

as You can see I'm Returning a ModelAndView, the view is added and the objects to the model too.

As I said if this code ran with the maven plugin it works, but with java -jar I get this message:
Error resolving template "/layout/home".

The solution that I take was chenge the return object to String:

@RequestMapping(value = "/")
    public String home(Model model) {
        Crawl crawl = crawlService.getLastNormalCrawl();

        if(crawl != null){
            setCrawlInfo(model, crawl);
            return "layout/home";
        } else{
            return "index";
        }
    }

This works for maven plugin and and java -jar.

Here is my spring-boot version:

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.6.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

I did not found a this exactly problem, so I don't know if is a bug, is something wrong with my code or something else.

I hope this could help in something, If you have and answer I want to know it.

Thank you very much!!!!!

Your view names are different in the two examples: /layout/home vs layout/home. You want the latter.
