This question has been asked before but I did not solve my problem and I getting some weird functionality.

If I put my index.html file in the static directory like so:

enter image description here

I get the following error in my browser:

enter image description here

And in my console:

[THYMELEAF][http-nio-8080-exec-3] Exception processing template "login": 
Exception parsing document: template="login", line 6 - column 3
2015-08-11 16:09:07.922 ERROR 5756 --- [nio-8080-exec-3] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].

parsing document: template="login", line 6 - column 3] with root cause

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "meta" must be terminated by 
the matching end-tag "</meta>".

However if I move my index.html file into the templates directory I get the following error in my browser: enter image description here

I have added my view resolvers:

@Controller
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebController extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addViewController("/index").setViewName("index");
        registry.addViewController("/results").setViewName("results");
        registry.addViewController("/login").setViewName("login");
        registry.addViewController("/form").setViewName("form");
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getHomePage(){
        return "index";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/form", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String showForm(Person person) {
        return "form";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/form", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public String checkPersonInfo(@Valid Person person, BindingResult bindingResult) {

        if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
            return "form";
        }
        return "redirect:/results";
    }

    @Bean
    public ViewResolver getViewResolver() {
        InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
        resolver.setPrefix("templates/");
        //resolver.setSuffix(".html");
        return resolver;
    }

    @Override
    public void configureDefaultServletHandling(
            DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
        configurer.enable();
    }

}

WebSecurityConfig.java

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
                .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/", "/index").permitAll()
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
                .formLogin()
               .loginPage("/login")
                .permitAll()
                .and()
                .logout()
                .permitAll();
    }

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth
                .inMemoryAuthentication()
                .withUser("user").password("password").roles("USER");
    }
}

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<meta>
    <meta> charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Welcome</h1>

<a href="../../login.html"><span>Click here to move to the next page</span></a>

</body>

</html>

At this point I do not know what is going on. Can anyone give me some advice?

------UPDATE--------

I missed a typo in index.html but I am still getting the same errors

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <meta> charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Welcome</h1>

<a href="../../login.html"><span>Click here to move to the next page</span></a>

</body>

</html>

index.html should be inside templates, as I know. So, your second attempt looks correct.

But, as the error message says, index.html looks like having some errors. E.g. the in the third line, the meta tag should be actually head tag, I think.
