Spring Webflux does not serve static files from default locations

Affects: \

---

Have a project, docs say that /public /static /resources /META-INF/resources are all by default checked for static resources.

with what i have in this repo https://github.com/gerethd/webflux-example they do not and a 404 is received.

I have a copy of the static files in each of the specified folders on each level of the project that would even remotely make sense.

i.e. the files exist inside

./resources/index.html
./resources/resources/index.html
./resources/META_INF/resources/index.html
./resources/public/index.html
./resources/static/index.html
./META_INF/resources/index.html
./src/main/resources/index.html
./src/main/resources/resources/index.html
./src/main/resources/META_INF/resources/index.html
./src/main/resources/public/index.html
./src/main/resources/static/index.html
./src/main/META_INF/resources/index.html
./src/main/public/index.html
./src/main/static/index.html
./public/index.html
./static/index.html

The intended functionality is when i run this project and go to http://localhost:8080/index.html I should get the index page but instead i get a 404.

The correct location should be "src/main/resources/static" for this use case. I haven't tried your sample but I did notice that you've annotated your application with @EnableWebflux, which signals to Spring Boot that you'd like to take full control of the web configuration.

This is explained in the reference documentation. If you've got other questions, please use StackOverflow - the Spring team and the broader commmunity can help you out there.

Thanks!
