  <p>Here is the controller of my application</p>

  <p>The html that should be return is this one</p>

  <p>The main application is below. I have tried the solution proposed here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37447168/springboot-whitelabel-error-page">Springboot Whitelabel Error Page</a>, but it doesn't work for me.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@SpringBootApplication
  public class MyBanQApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
           SpringApplication.run(MyBanQApplication.class, args);
      }
  
  }
