I have a Spring Boot application based on this example.
Now the question is how can I add rewrite rules to my application that add /index.html when user visit the root URL.
I mean when user visit http://localhost:8080/my-app or http://localhost:8080/my-app/ then I redirect him or her to http://localhost:8080/my-app/index.html.
I found something here, but unfortunately does not work for me, also it seems org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.tomcat.TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory does not exist in Spring Boot 2.3.1 anymore.

I only need to add a new controller, despite this application does not use MVC, this controller will redirect the / requests to /index.html.
package me.cimply.ask.odata.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
@Controller
public class AppController {
@GetMapping("/")
public String index() {
return "redirect:index.html";
}
}
