Spring Security Custom Html Login Page Not Rendered

i have followed this link for all configurations to set link up my custom html page for login. However, when i access localhost/login, i am faced with error status 500. I am unable

Solution 1:

I have managed to resolve this. The main issue was because my artefactID was also named login. This resulted in all other context of "login", including "login.html" to be voided. I modified my controller to below and changing my html file to login2.html it worked.

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@Controller
public class LoginController {

    @GetMapping("/login")
    public String login2() {
        return "login2";
    }
}
