Spring Boot Patterns Not Allowed

Question

I am trying to create a standalone web application using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. The application works fine from IntelliJ IDEA, but I can not start the jar myself. Apparently templates are not included.

My project is structured as follows:

├── src
│   └── main
│       ├── java
│       │   └── my
│       │       └── domain
│       │           └── application
│       │               ├── domain
│       │               ├── service
│       │               ├── web
│       │               ├── ApplicationConfig.java
│       │               ├── SecurityConfig.java
│       │               ├── ThymeleafConfig.java
│       │               └── WebConfig.java
│       ├── resources
│       │   ├── application.properties
│       │   └── log4j.properties
│       └── webapp
│           ├── resources
│           │   ├── jquery.js
│           │   └── style.css
│           └── WEB-INF
│               └── views
│                   ├── layout.html
│                   ├── login.html
│                   └── menu.html
└── pom.xml

ApplicationConfig:

@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
    ...
}

@Bean
public SessionBean sessionBean() {
    return new SessionBean();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(ApplicationConfig.class, args);
}

ThymeleafConfig:

@Bean
public TemplateResolver templateResolver(){
    ServletContextTemplateResolver templateResolver = new ServletContextTemplateResolver();
    templateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
    templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
    templateResolver.setTemplateMode("HTML5");
    return templateResolver;
}

@Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine(){
    SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
    templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
    templateEngine.addDialect(new LayoutDialect());
    return templateEngine;
}

@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver(){
    ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver() ;
    viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
    viewResolver.setOrder(1);
    return viewResolver;
}

WebConfig:

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
            .addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}

I managed to include the WEB-INF folder by adding it as a resource in pom.xml, but the views are still not fixed.

Have you tried to completely delete the WEB-INF folder and paste everything into resources, as is done in this guide?
