spring-boot without template engine -

i have spring-boot app apparently way out of norm. it's spring-mvc, don't want use velocity,thymeleaf or anything. ideally use html. use jquery make ajax calls rest services, , fill in pages returned json. way can work put html under /src/resources/templates, , have @controller each page. have:

@springbootapplication

public class application {     public static void main(string[] args) throws throwable {         springapplication.run( application.class, args );     } } 

and controllers

@controller public class homecontroller {     @requestmapping("/")     public string gethome() {         return "index" } 

and

@controller public class aboutcontroller {     @requestmapping("/about")     public string getabout() {         return "about" } 

i have looked thru spring guides , sample projects, don't see how configure this. using starter projects spring-mvc , security, otherwise don't see need navigating :

localhost/home or localhost/about or localhost/customer

or, necessary have @controller each page?

if want use static resources html , javascript can place them subfolder of /src/main/resources named /public, /static or /resources. example file located @ /src/main/resources/public/dummy/index.html accessible via http://localhost/dummy/index.html. won't need controller this.

see reference guide.
