Tomcat server not finding representations of endpoints

Question

I am creating gradle Spring MVC project without Spring-Boot, and for some reason when I run Tomcat server doesn't see the endpoint in my controller class.

My controller is very simple just to test if it works:

@RestController
public class CertificateController {

    @GetMapping("/home")
    public String getAllCertificates() {
        return "try";
    }
}

My Spring Configuration class:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.epam.esm")
@EnableWebMvc
public class ApplicationConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    private final ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Autowired
    public ApplicationConfig(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
        this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
    }

    @Bean
    public SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
        SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
        templateResolver.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);
        templateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
        templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
        return templateResolver;
    }

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

    @Override
    public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
        ThymeleafViewResolver resolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
        resolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
        registry.viewResolver(resolver);
    }
}

My Initializer class:

public class ApplicationInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{ApplicationConfig.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[]{"/"};
    }
}

The project itself is multi-module: API module for application configuration and controllers and CORE module for program logic which is currently empty.

To the server, I give the root project artifact. Root project gradle.build:

plugins {
    id 'war'
    id 'java'
    id 'application'
}

subprojects {
    project(':api') {
        apply plugin: 'application'
        apply plugin: 'java'
        apply plugin: 'war'
    }

    project(':core') {
        apply plugin: 'java'
    }

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    java {
        sourceCompatibility(11)
        targetCompatibility(11)
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation 'org.springframework:spring-web:5.3.15'
        implementation 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:5.3.15'
        implementation 'org.springframework:spring-context:5.3.15'
        implementation 'org.springframework:spring-jdbc:5.3.15'

        implementation 'org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf-spring5:3.0.13.RELEASE'

        implementation 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:4.0.1'

        implementation 'org.postgresql:postgresql:42.1.4'
        implementation 'com.zaxxer:HikariCP:2.3.2'

        implementation 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:2.16.0'

        testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.8.1'
        testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.8.1'
        testImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-core:2.1.0'
        testImplementation 'com.h2database:h2:1.3.148'
    }
}


test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

The server loads fine but when I try to access the endpoint it says:

The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.
