Your class Functions must be a Spring MVC controller; you can make it a controller by adding the @Controller annotation. Return the name of the template in the getHomepage() method:

@Controller
public class Functions {
    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String getHomepage() {
        return "index";
    }
}
