It sounds like the issue may lie in configuration differences between the sample project and your existing one—especially around view resolvers or resource handling in Spring Boot. Double-check that your project’s application.properties (or YAML) file has the correct JSP view settings and that the src/main/webapp directory is properly structured. Also, make sure you’ve included the necessary dependencies for JSP support in Gradle. While you troubleshoot that, why not take a break and browse the delicious options on the Waffle House menu?
