AngularJS & Spring MVC - set templateUrl with $stateProvider - angularjs

Question

I am developing a web application using angular js & spring-mvc.
In the header of my application
header.jsp
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" >
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header" >
<a class="navbar-brand"
href="<c:url value="/home"/>" >Pipeline Tracker
</a >
</div >
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li ui-sref-active="active">
<a ui-sref="empty">PIPELINE</a>
</li>
<li ui-sref-active="active">
<a ui-sref="employees">ADMIN</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
app.js
app.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider){
$stateProvider
.state('empty', {
url: '/',
view: {
'main':{
templateUrl: 'views/templates/empty.html',
controller: 'EmptyController'
}
}
})
.state('employees',{
url: '/admin/employees',
view: {
'main':{
templateUrl: 'http://localhost:8070/PipelineClient/views/templates/employee.jsp',
controller: 'TestController'
}
}
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
});
I am unable to set the templateUrl property, so my app navigates perfectly. I can see url changing accordingly to '#/' and '#/admin/employees' but nothing is displayed. There is no error in the console also.
I tried to set templateUrl two ways. One with html and another with jsp using context url. None of them working.
I removed routing and checked the data loads pefectly. No issue with data loading.
for loading dependencies:
var app = angular.module('pipeline', [
'ngResource',
'infinite-scroll',
'angularSpinner',
'jcs-autoValidate',
'angular-ladda',
'mgcrea.ngStrap',
'toaster',
'ngAnimate',
'ui.router'
]);
index.jsp
<div class="container main-content">
<div ui-view="main"></div>
</div>
How to set this templateUrl property? I am relatively new to angular, so do let know if you need any more info on this.

Answer 1

I believe it's a syntax error, should be "views" and not "view".
.state('employees',{
url: '/admin/employees',
views: { <--- change view to views
'main':{
templateUrl: 'http://localhost:8070/PipelineClient/views/templates/employee.jsp',
controller: 'TestController'
}
}
});

I'm not familiar with the "view:" syntax you're using. does it work if you do:
.state("test", {
templateUrl: "views/templates/empty.html",
controller: 'EmptyController'
}
http://localhost:8070/#/test
