title: Spring boot use resources templates folder with JSP templates instead of webapp folder?
body: <p>I started a Spring Boot MVC project and realized that there are two folder within <code>resources</code>. One is called <code>templates</code> and the other <code>static</code>. I really like this folder setup.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I use JSP Templates for my views. I could not place a <code>.jsp</code> template inside the <code>templates</code> folder and got it to work.
  What I needed to do is to create a <code>webapp</code> folder on the same level as <code>src</code> and <code>resources</code>. Placing my JSP templates in there and then my views can be found.</p>
  
  <p>What do I need to reconfigure to actually use my JSP templates within the <code>templates</code> folder which lies within <code>resources</code>?</p>
