spring boot jsp : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/util/security/Escape

I am trying to add a simple jsp rendering in my spring boot application.

@Controller public class WelcomeController { @RequestMapping("/index") public String loginMessage(){ return "index"; } } 

resolver

spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/jsp/ spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp 

and /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp

I added both sprng boot web stater and tomcat embed

compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web') compile('org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-jasper') 

I am facing this issue
