Gretty 4.1.1 requires the `src/main/webapp` path.

[mklinkj]

hello.

In the 3.1.x version, the server didn't fail to start without the src/main/webapp path, but in the 4.1.1 version, the src/main/webapp path must be present for it to run properly.

The following example project uses thymeleaf and does not have a src/main/webapp path because the viewfiles are in src/resources/templates or src/resources/statics.

• Example project

  • https://github.com/mklinkj/QnA/tree/master/Spring-Security/requestMatchers-example-jakarta

• Gretty needs src/main/webapp, so I put a dummy path and file in the example project.

  • https://github.com/mklinkj/QnA/tree/master/Spring-Security/requestMatchers-example-jakarta/src/main/webapp

Is the src/main/webapp path absolutely necessary in Gretty?

• exception log (When I removed the webapp path.)
