    Creating Gradle Project


Create New Project


Select Java and Web from the Option


You will be asked to provide GroupID and ArtifactID


GroupID: it will identify your project uniquely across all projects. (E.g. com.project.model | com.project.plugins)
ArtifactID: is the name of the jar without version. If you created it then you can choose whatever name you want with lowercase letters and no strange symbols (E.g. maven | some-project )


Click Next and Select use auto-import. It is recommended to select gradle_wrapper for novice user.
This ensures that the project is build using same version by everyone. If you select local version of the gradle then same version of gradle must be available to all. It is usually placed in VC.

apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: "war"
war {
    baseName = 'SpringMVCExample'
    version = '1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT'
}


Add compatibility
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8


Add Dependencies
dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
    testCompile("junit:junit")
}


After gradle has completed downloading add package named java inside main package


Inside the java folder create your base package com.project


Create Controller and Model inside this package


Create resources folder under main directory


create WEB-INF folder and add dispatcher-servlet.xml Spring configuration file.


Open Project Structure and under Modules > Spring add dispatcher-servlet.xml as spring Application Context


Paste Following to the configuration xml file.


<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
